i'm from india looking to buy a laptop around 50000 rupees ($750-$800). problem is most upper mid range laptops being sold in US are either extremely overpriced or not available in India. i finally narrowed my search down to two laptops.

1) Lenovo ideapad 320s

Intel i5 8250U Processor
8Gb DDR4 2400mhz memory
1Tb 5400rpm HDD
14" FHD IPS Screen
1.7kg weight

Retails in India for 52000 rupees ($798)

2) Asus Zenbook UX330UA

Intel i5 7200U Processor
8Gb DDR3 Memory
256Gb SSD
13.3" FHD Display
1.2kg weight

Retails for $699 in amazon.com. planning to import it through shopusa.com. total cost inc shipping, duties & customs is $854 which is 55600 rupees.

do you think asus zenbook is worth buying over the lenovo ideapad despite the fact having a previous gen i5 processor and also being comparatively more expensive if i import it. but the zenbook is much lighter, has fast srorage and full metal build. i'm very confused. need help
