Torn between the ASUS ZenBook Pro UX550 and the Lenovo Thinkpad T480

I'm tired of my abysmal performing HP laptop of four years and wanting to move on.

I'm torn between the two laptops listed in the title ~~ the ASUS Zenbook Pro UX550 and the Lenovo Thinkpad T480.

I'm mainly going to be writing and editing videos (YouTube). But I also want to game from time to time and I'd like for the games to perform pretty well and look nice.

Overall, I want a computer with beastly performance, one that is lightning quick and durable.

I'm leaning towards the Lenovo, but the ASUS looks nice. Thoughts?
 
Both are good models, Lenovo would likely be the more durable one. Not sure about gaming though, what video card is in the one you are looking at?
