I'm looking for a laptop that can handle demanding software and video games, but also function as a casual device I can use for just about anything. With some customizations, I've made it so that the specs between these two laptops are almost identical. The only differences are in the graphics card, RAM, and price.
HP Envy 17t:
They both have:
The ASUS seems better with a bigger RAM and newer graphics card, but is that enough to justify an extra $300? As far as brands go, is HP or ASUS more reliable? Overall, which one should I go for?
HP Envy 17t:
> nVidia GeForce GTX 950M 4GB
> 16GB DDR3 (2 slots; maximum is either 16 or 32)
> $1340
> nVidia GeForce GTX 965M 2GB
> 32GB DDR5 (4 slots; maximum is 64)
> $1620
They both have:
> 6th Gen Intel Core i7-6700HQ Processor Quad-Core
> 1TB 5400 RPM HDD + 256GB SSD
> Windows 10 Home 64-bit
> 17.3" 16:9 IPS (1920x1080) Touchscreen
