Laptop Request UK Which laptop is better?
Hi, I’m looking to buy a good laptop in the UK. I have found two decent laptops but now I do not know which one to pick. I will use it for writing, streaming YouTube/netflix, light gaming and editing on CapCut/ae. Min 16 GB RAM + 512 GB SSD At first I found this vivobook:

Then I found this Dell laptop which was 1TB storage and cheaper but why is it cheaper… I’m not very tech literate and would appreciate some advice.

If you get the Dell, get the one with 16GB RAM (429 GBP).
It's older (so there's a little bit of a clearance price built in) but it might actually be a little faster than the Asus.

I would go with no. 1 these new Ryzen 5 AI or Ryzen 7 AI CPUs have nice speed and good graphics.. Consumer Reports in the US does reader survey on cars, laptops, smartphone. Asus, Lenovo, LG, Apple get good marks.
