So first you should decide how much you value gaming. If you prioritize gaming less then pick up the Acer, as the screen is more color accurate but slow, and the GPU and CPU will be slower due to the lower power design. If you value gaming more then the Victus has a faster screen, more cooling, and a better CPU and GPU (75W 3050 beats a 45W 3050 Ti)
The above commenter is incorrect about the screens, movies will not appear faster on 120hz+, but most games you play on this can be tweaked to run at 75hz which is noticeably smoother than 60hz. After 90 there are diminishing returns in smoothness.
HP's screen has higher refresh rate, although it might be wasted for gaming since it's doubtful its GPU can push any recent games to 144 fps. Movies will be more pleasant, though.
Overall, it depends on what you are looking for. I personally prefer the Acer model here because of the 3050 Ti for gaming.
The wildcard between the two is how each system managers thermals. Even the fastest system will slow to a crawl if throttled too much due to heat.

1. That version of the G14 seems to go on sale pretty regularly (as recently as 3 weeks ago for the same price), so I would bet it would come around again. Plus,
2. I also think it's very likely Best Buy (among others) will run deals of its own during the Prime Day sale, and we might see more laptops to consider then.
I'm in a similar boat, I want to keep the cost down, and the g14 is tempting, but I'm going to (likely) hold for one more week.

There are many other buying options from BB, but I'm not sure it's worth to wait for the invitation email.
Edit: Received the invite around 9:15EST.

I thought about going for a Lenovo ThinkPad P14 or T14 refurb off eBay or something.
For those of you that did get an invite, I saw this forum post for pushing the video card performance of the Acer Swift X: https://www.reddit.com/r/Acer_Swi...ios_
It's definitely try at your own risk, but I would have definitely loved to have played around with it.
