Which would you choose?

Neither, get this and chuck in your own SSD if you want.

I would go with the asus out of the 2 you have listed as I have only used asus machines. But both should be equally matched for specs.

Also here's one which matches the Asus in performance for a much lower price.

However I would recommend getting this and popping in your own SSD, as the included ones are typically very slow as far as SSDs go.

hi,

For that price, you can get something with better specs.
