Hi,
I m looking to buy a good budget laptop for basic home use. Usage - watching movies, surfing web. Good build quality, screen, speakers, battery life are my preference. i am looking at below two models right now. Kindly suggest which one is better.

From the pics, it looks like B490 is chunky..personally i hate a chunky laptop..but if that means, its well built, i might be interested.

I know screen sizes are different between the two models, but i am fine with both.
