My needs - Developer/Architect in Java/Bigdata. So needs more memory though 16 GB is not less. Want to run IDE plus VMs into these laptops.
1) Not a big fan of touchscreen laptops as I didn't heard good about them?
2) NVidia GPU even if it is half the size of AMD is better
3) SSD is also a big difference though I am willing to put a SSD on my own in the Dell(around $175 more expense)
4) Display and lightness of Asus is too good.
I am okay with the price range of $1000- $1300 kind of range.
Both of them are exactly same in terms of price.
