Which one to get (Acer vs Asus) (i7-7700HQ vs i5-8300H)

[Olmoo123]

Hey!
I would like to get someone else's opinion about which laptop to get because they are so close:
Acer 17,3" FHD Aspire 7 with intel core i7-7700HQ GTX1060(6GB) 8GB RAM 512GB PCIe SSD
or
Asus TUF Gaming FX504GM-EN025T 15,6" FHD 120Hz with intel core i5-8300H GTX1060(6GB) 8GB RAM 256GB PCIe SSD

The Acer is about 50€ cheaper but If I would to buy the Asus I would had to buy a bigger SSD so the price difference would be about 100€ more.

I know that that the i7-7700hq and i5-8300h are pretty evenly matched too so what is someone else's take with one to get,
Thanks!

I would worry less about the processors here and more about the RAM; 8GB is not going to cut it for many modern games that dip over 8GB. I can personally say that Asus customer service/warranty adherence is quite good in my experience, not sure about Acer.

Okay, good to know, thank you. I did pick the Acer one because of the price difference and for that extra money I bought 8GB more ram for it so the ram is now at 16GB!
