Hp pavallion or Asus?

[Master Fahad]

Hello guys, i am new to tomsguide and recently i am planning to buy a laptop. I have got two options, Hp or Asus. The hp model is 15-n210/211se and asus k550ldv-xx477-xx476 . Which one would be a better choice?
The specs of both are same except that asus has got 1tb hdd whereas hp got 500gb hdd only.

Specs for hp: - core i5 4200u 4th generation
-1.60ghz upto 2.30ghz
-2gb dedicated graphics(nvidia)
-4gb ddr3 ram
-500gb hdd
-windows 8.1

Specs for asus: - core i5 4210u 1.8ghz
-4gb ddr3 ram
-1tb hdd
-2gb nvidia graphics
-windows 8.1

I want to know which would last longer and which is better in terms of processing speed and which has better tech support?

those are not sufficient specs to compare them.

However avoid HP Pavilions, they are known to overheat pretty badly.

What is the most essential thing that i should consider while selecting a laptop?

There is a lot to consider. But if you can link me to EXACT laptop webpage, then I can check. The model numbers you provided are not getting me anywhere.

I always like getting different perspectives on equipment so I value forum discussions like this one.
