I ended up going for the first one of the two - slightly better machine in terms of power should i want to do any video/gaming. Thanks for your help guys. Mods, this can be closed.

Thanks for the information guys. I'll have a loo at https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ and see if it offers any better value - this £600 range seems to be pretty standard regardless of what machine I look at. Like you say GarryP, you could compare each individual item for days on end and come to no real conclusion.

Hi, I am looking at getting new laptop for Affinity Designer and Photo as I am looking to get back into design, rebuild my portfolio and get a Graphic Design job (a position I held 7 years ago but had to leave for various reasons). The two laptops I am looking at are: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-FX504-15-6-inch-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B07C7DYS5V/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 and https://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/asus-vivobook-core-i5-8250u-8gb-256gb-ssd-15.6-inch-nvidia-geforce-gtx-940m-s510uq-bq517t/version.asp#/specs Can anyone advise which would be the better choice? I want to have this machine for at least a few years, and your help would be appreciated. Thanks,
