I can't decide what laptop should I buy between these two :

Asus VivoBook X541UA-WB51 15.6″
http://www.lazada.com.ph/asus-vivobook-x541u-wb51-156-intel-i5-6198u-8g-ram-1tb-hddwin-10-with-free-laptop-bagblack-8658957.html

and

Asus VivoBook X540YA-DM129T 15.6"
http://www.lazada.com.ph/asus-vivobook-x540ya-dm129t-156-amd-a8-7410-4gb-windows-10-laptopwith-free-asus-laptop-bag-8415772.html

The first one has a Intel core i5-6198DU/BGA processor, and more storage with 8GB Ram and 1TB hard drive. While the second one has AMD® Carrizo-L APU A8-7410 2.2GHz processor and less storage (4GB and 500GB hard drive). But both of them has a 1920x1080 screen resolution. Although the first one has a Intel HD graphics 510 and the second one has AMD RadeonTM R5 Graphics.

Yes, I am actually aware that the first one is far more better in terms of performance and they have a huge price difference (the first one is 580$ and the second one is 380$). But I wanna ask which of these two suits my purpose well, I'm just into anime/movie watching (that's why I want a very good screen resolution), microsoft word/excel works, web browsing and a little bit of photoshop for light editing. Is the second one enough for my needs for its low price? Or should I go to the first one? I just can't decide, the price difference is giving me confusion (I wanna save as much as possible). Thanks for the help, guys!
 
Solution
For photoshop you would want the Intel model with 8 GB of RAM unless you don't care how slow that runs. But I think you will get annoyed with the speed and will wish you got the faster system.
