Looking for gaming laptop.

After for a gaming laptop when out and about or chilling downstairs etc.

Max budget around £800,

Have my eyes on a couple.

I should note I do not need a huge amount of space, currently my Laptop with 256GB SSD is more than enough.

An Acer Nitro AN515-44 for £799.99

Specs:

Ryzen 5 4600H
8GB DDR4 RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650Ti
15.6" 1080p 144Hz
512GB SSD (cannot see if this is NVME or M.2 whatever it is now.)
Also comes with a Headset, Mouse and Mouse Pad (which I could sell, no use for them)

OR

Asus TUF FX505 for £749.

Specs:

i5 9300H
8GB RAM (Assuming DDR4)
512GB NVME SSD
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650
15.6" 60Hz
Marvel Avengers Game Code (can be sold)

Looking around I think it would be best to pay the extra and get the Acer, any thoughts?

OK cheers, my knowledge of laptops aside from the screen and RAM and HDD/SSD is nearly zero, especially on the cpu/gpu side, will have a butchers.

Yeah that ws my thinking my well just wanted clarification I will go for that one.

Yeah that looks a lot better. not missing much on the 1650ti > 1650 am I? If it'll save me a £100 that's great.

Was racking my brains deciding over about 10 different laptops, I was intiailly pulled in by the TUF's gamer look, but I opted out.
