Take a look at the specs of any of today’s gaming laptops and there’s a 99.9% chance it’s got an Intel CPU and Nvidia graphics chip inside it. That’s mostly because AMD haven’t really bothered with gaming laptops for the last couple of years, but that’s slowly starting to change. Case in point: Acer’s Predator Helios 500 laptop, which is available in both AMD and Nvidia graphics flavours. The former has one of AMD’s Radeon RX Vega 56 chips while the latter comes with a full-fat GTX 1070.
But rather than review each one individually, I thought I’d do something a bit different this time and get both models in and pit them against each other to see which one you should actually buy. After all, both laptops are roughly the same price in the US right now ($1898 for the Nvidia one and $1829 for the AMD), while the AMD version in the UK is around £300 cheaper, going for £1499 as opposed to £1769 for the Nvidia jobber. Which one will triumph? Let’s find out.
