I am split between two laptops:

HP Omen 17 for 2000$

17.3 144hz display, i7-8750H,16GB of ram, 1TB hard drive and a 256GB ssd and a 1060

 

Acer predator helios ph315 for 1900$,
15.6' 144hz display, i7-8750H, 16Gb of ram, 1TB hard drive and a 512GB ssd and a 1060

 

Since looking at the spec sheet doesn't really help, I was wondering about the thoughts on HP and Acer laptops from the rest of you, since I don't have experience with either.

Where are you from? Budget? Usage? No preference on weight and battery life?

Weight and battery life aren't important since my laptop is my main machine so it rarely leaves the desk. 
I am currently living in China and have a 2000$ budget.
I use it for modeling, gaming and everything internet based.

Also, I read your review of the Y530, which i'm also looking into, but with an i7 and a 1060. What do you think about that? That Y530 is 1800$.
