My Primary requirement is a laptop which is very slim and lightweight along with decent specs that can do any sort of university student work things and casual gaming (like cs go/dota 2/overwatch only).

The specifications for the two are provided on the links posted below:

1. Asus VivoBook S15
https://www.amazon.in/S510UN-BQ217T-15-6-inch-Core-i5-Windows-Graphics/dp/B0779QTNVP/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=CXJ8ANC6RN83N1MM0C74


2. Acer Swift 3
https://www.flipkart.com/acer-swift-3-core-i5-8th-gen-8-gb-1-tb-hdd-128-gb-ssd-windows-10-home-2-graphics-sf315-51g-laptop/p/itmf3s32fpyw2jy8?pid=COMF2YNGEX92S4JQ


Both have exactly similar specifications, however, the Acer comes with a 128 GB SSD, What is am skeptical about is the build quality and cannot reach a decision.
Some people are complaining about the Asus one being flimsy especially the keyboard which feels mushy and the Acer screen being dim and very reflective.

I would really appreciate if anyone can help.

S510UN comes with metal (or more aptly metal finish) body and 2 years warranty, whereas the X510UN comes with plastic body and 1 year warranty; just these 2 differences and the price difference between them is more than ₹10,000.
I personally like the X510UN plastic body because it has a nice unique finish over the top flap instead of the S510UN which has a plain metal finish.
