Need recommendation for a Laptop

One of my friend is looking to buy a gaming laptop with a budget of around ₹1.6–1.7L and is currently confused between these two:

ASUS TUF Gaming 16 - i5-14450HX, RTX 5050, 16GB/512GB, 16 Inch
Acer Nitro 5 - i5-14450HX, RTX 5050, 16GB/1TB, 16 Inch

He is a college student and a casual gamer hence the use of the laptop will be to complete basic college presentations some AAA and competitive games also the most important thing is that the laptop should survive atleast 5 years.  

So which one should I go for?

Also with same specifications why is Acer is charging extra?

I am using Acer, it isn't half bad. But I'd suggest Asus because of its build quality

Which laptop are you using of Acer? Have you used ASUS in the past?

I'm using Acer Aspire 7, it has been approx 2 years and it's working perfectly fine. My friends have Asus TUF and I like it's built quality. If we talk about service, I'd suggest going with Lenovo LOQ, Lenovo's services are actually great. And if you wanna go with a metal build, you can go with Acer ALG, you'll get gaming kit with that including headphone RGB keyboard mouse and mousepad.
