Hi, need help in deciding which laptop to buy. Both are used in good condition with similar warranty period with several significant difference that is listed here.

Cpu 10th gen intel
Giga - i7
Acer - i5

Screen
Giga - oled 4k
Acer - ips full hd 144hz

Battery
Giga - 99wh
Acer - 59wh

Warranty ( 1& ½ year left)
Giga- normal
Acer- onsite, accidental,theft

The rest of the spec is pretty similar. I'm buying mainly for office work and gaming, I dont do any design work actually. But the oled screen of gigabyte aero is damn gorgeous.

With rm800 extra for the Gigabyte is it justified or I should just save the 800 for something else.

I've been using Aero 15 for the past 3 years, so far so good. Except need to repaste the thermal paste, recently temperature a little bit high

Thanks for the feedback. Yeap few review I read is the laptop heat up quite a bit when used at full load. Does it have any warranty sticker at the body that might prevent me from repasting without voiding the warranty?
Any other things that I should keep in mind for the laptop.

Thanks

Lol giga would be nice with its bigger batt and oled screen. But I can use the extra 800 for something else.

my laptop can last average 4 hours of light use is enough for me. I've already bought the helios tho tongue.gif
