Hello, I have a Dell laptop as shown below, and I'm finding the CPU has a hard time running even more than one moderately intensive program at once, so I'm wanting to upgrade. I've been suggested a couple of builds, which do you think looks better?

Dell Latitude E7250
VIDEO: Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 (1366x768x32b)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5300U CPU @ 2.30GHz
RAM: 8G
HDD: 250GB SSD

I only use this for writing and browsing, mostly. Some Photoshop and Audition. So what's important to me is a fast SSD, enough RAM and CPU to be able to work comfortably, but nothing outrageous.

These are the ones being recommended:

Acer Aspire 5 A515-56T-58JT w/ Core™ i5-1135G7, 8GB, 256GB SSD, 15.6in FHD IPS Touch, Win 10 Home - Laptops / Notebooks - Memory Express Inc.

Asus Vivobook S513IA-DB51 w/ Ryzen™ 5-4500U, 8GB, 512GB SSD, 15.6in Full HD, Radeon Vega, Win 10 Home - Laptops / Notebooks - Memory Express Inc.

Thanks!

Thanks for that (y)

The VivoBook has the edge over the Aspire for me as well. has a bigger SSD and the Ryzen 5 edges out the i5 1135G7 in the benchmarks here
