It means that both these laptops would be good gaming devices for people who love to set a particular place in their rooms for gaming. Carrying a 15.6 inches laptop is not very easy.

Then the resolution You need is FHD. It is one of the common resolutions for gaming, even though not many professional gamers like it, but for a 15.6 inches screen, it is a fine choice.

Refresh rate

The refresh rate would decide if a gaming laptop is eligible for online gaming and streaming. The Razer blade 15 has a 144Hz refresh rate, and it is acceptable for all types of gaming.

However, the Acer predator helios has something big for you, as it comes with a 360Hz refresh Rate. It means that anyone who is into online gaming and streaming would definitely love the refresh rate of Acer predator helios, instead of the refresh rate of Razer blade.

Response Time

Like refresh rate, The Response time also plays a crucial role in deciding if the laptop is suitable for online gaming. So the Acer predator helios 300 comes with a 3ms response time, which is suitable for gaming laptops.

On the other hand, the Razer blade 15 comes with a 4.5ms response time. The lower the response time, the better it is. So if you are searching for smooth live gaming, then the Acer predator helios would be a recommended article.

GPU

The next thing, which will decide the quality of games is the graphic processing unit. There is a huge difference between the GPU of these two laptops. The Acer predator helios 300 comes with the NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB graphic processing unit.

The GTX processors are great, but they do not have ray tracing, which is now an important need for amazing graphic quality. One impressive feature of the GTX 1060 is the no-noise technology, this is why the Acer predator does not make any noise.

Then the Razer blade 15 comes with the NVIDIA RTX 2070. It comes with ray tracing technology. Thus, making it a better chief for the ones who need to play aiming games. As the graphic quality will be better for the NVIDIA RTX 2070.

Processors

The processor will decide how good the entire machine is. The Acer predator is a great device, and the processor being used here is the intel core i7 7th generation with a turbo speed of 3.8Ghz, which is great for advanced gaming sessions. However, the Razer Blade comes with a better option. It has the core i7 8th generation with a turbo speed of 4.1Ghz. It is more than the former one. Now it is up to the buyer if he would choose the better option for them.

RAM

The random access memory plays a crucial role in deciding whether your laptop is fine enough to use for multiple devices or not. The ideal RAM size for any gaming laptop is 16GB, and luckily both these laptops have 16GB RAM. As far as the RAM up-gradation is concerned, the Acer Predator helios 300 comes with an upgradable RAM, you may upgrade it whenever it’s needed.

Don’t you worry, the Razer blade 15 also comes with an upgradable RAM. So it is now very easy to say that in regard to RAM size both these articles are the same.

Storage

The Razer blade 15 is a fine choice for those who wish to use their gaming laptop for other digital activities. For example, you can easily use 512GB of storage for photo editing, while you enjoy your favorite games on it.

Then on the other side, the Acer predator helios 300 comes with a 256Gb storage. It is also good especially when your sole aim is to use your laptop for gaming. If however, you feel like using the same device for other purposes then I am afraid that 256Gb is not enough.

Battery life

The higher the battery life the better the gaming laptop will be. Usually, gaming laptops do not come with good battery life. It will hardly be three to four hours. However, the Acer predator helios can go as far as five hours, which is good.

On the contrary, the battery life of the Razer blade 15 is merely three hours. This two-hour difference can go a long way.

Conclusion

In my opinion, If you love to have a laptop with a higher refresh rate, then the Acer predator is fine. Additionally, you will not get the ray tracing feature with Acer. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 15 comes with an RTX processor and more storage size. So it would suit people who cannot compromise on graphics and storage.
