    @iyoung91  Between the two, I'd go with a Legion if the prices are at all similar.  The Helios is fine, but the Legion has the best build quality overall, over several years at least, of any gaming laptop in the "budget" range, i.e. any that doesn't charge a huge price premium for the same hardware.  Legions run relatively quiet and cool, they generally have good screens, and they mostly have good battery life if you need that, although you'd always want to play with the laptop plugged in for best performance.

    On the subject of screens though, it's a good idea to go to a physical store and look at the screens of the laptops you're considering.  None of them will compare to your iMac, but some will look good enough, and others may be bad enough, in a subjective sense, that you wouldn't enjoy using them.

    Each model of laptop will come with a few different possible screens, depending on the configuration you're buying, but you can distinguish among them by their specs.  For example, Legions may come with a 144 Hz or 240 Hz 1920x1080 screen or a 144 Hz 2560x1440 screen, and any Legion from a given year or series number would have one of those three exact screens.  So you could just find one laptop with the same screen as the model you're considering and judge that; you wouldn't need to see the precise model laptop in person.
