So I need a laptop for business purposes, out of these 2 laptops which would give me the best performance?

HP 15-ay013nr 15.6" Full-HD Laptop (6th Generation Core i5, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) with Windows 10 https://www.amazon.com/HP-Notebook-15-ay011nr-15-6-Inch-Processor/dp/B01CGGOZOM?tag=viglink20237-20

OR

ASUS X555DA-AS11 15 inch Full-HD AMD Quad Core Laptop with Windows 10, Black & Silver

The AMD looks pretty good tho, since it's quad core, the Intel is only dual core.

And it looks like the AMD comes with a 256 GB SSD. The Intel by the looks of it comes with a standard 1 TB hdd.

I dont think it's SATA. But it's 2.3 GHZ. The AMD is 1.8

And the AMD has 2 USB 3 ports, the Intel only has 1

Well I would get a bigger ssd. Something higher than 128 GB.

That wont last long and the lower the capacity of the ssd, the lower the cache.

I would choose Intel over AMD. the only thing with most laptops is they put a lot of crap on it, and this will slow it down - bloatware

Thank you or the response, Yeah If I keep the HP, I am planning on buying a hard drive caddy with a 120 gb ssd to replace my optic drive. It would run me somewhere around 40 to 50 dollars. Or I could just send them both back and try to get something else. But I am not sure what.

Yeah I am about to put the AMD CPU through a series of software and gaming tests to see its performance. Looks like the AMD can be overclocked more than the intel. At this very moment the thing I really don't like about this Asus is how flimsy the keyboard is. This is my first laptop so I am not use to the norm of things.. but this keyboard depresses every time I push on it. I am guessing that is nothing to be worried about?

I've got them both sitting infront of me. One or both will be going back to amazon haha :p The only thing holding me to the asus atm is the 1 yr damage warranty. That would cost me $80+ dollars on the HP.

I wouldnt really trust those warranties, most should have 3-4 yrs + use. Even if the shop tells you otherwise

It's like here, some shops expect you to pay $50 + for an extended 3- 4 year warranty. Which is ridiculous

When in fact here in NZ you're covered by the Consumers guarantees act.

If it dies or fails / breaks down (even if it's over a year) the buyer / customer can take it back and either get it fixed for free, or replaced. Even if the shop doesnt like it. Most things these days, should last longer than a year. If it doesnt then it's faulty . End of story

It doesnt matter what it is. you It should last longer than 1 - 2 years. But if you do damage it somehow well that's different.

Yeah in the states I would only get 1 year warranty. The asus comes with an extra 1 yr dmg warranty in case something stupid happened. But I am now thinking about taking both laptops back and getting an acer.
