It's meant for school and gaming, I would love to have a 144 Hz display, but 120 isn't bad either. I wouldn't overclock it because I don't see why I would... Portability is secondary though

So I am in a dilemma, because these two laptops seem to have sprung up from seemingly nowhere and both are very competitive for their price! both have the same CPU and the GPU but here's the thing: HP laptop sold here is for $999 right now. (1 TB HDD + SSD) This here is the Acer Helios 300 8th gen refresh: Amazon Link The difference is that acer has overclock-able GPU and a 144 Hz display all for $1199 (idk how they managed that) (SSD only) Which one should i go for? what issues other than heating should i look for? I can definitely buy the HP and an aftermarket screen 120 Hz model no.: N156HHE-GA1. This display (unlike other 120Hz displays) works with brightness controls when swapped out and it also has 94% color accuracy. (link). what issues other than heating should i look for? I know for one fact that the HP always runs on the 1060 and it does not switch back to the intel GPU when there is no workload (like 99% of other laptops do)
