    So your schools are open in Norway? (*silently cries*)
    Anyway, from what I could see they were the same price. I would 100% go for the 2nd one as it has more storage (as 256GB will probably not be enough) and a better CPU.
    Here in the UK, the 2nd option has good reviews so I would go for that.

    The second laptop by FAR.
     
    The 1st one is an Acer laptop too...and 6995.
    The 2nd one is an ASUS assembled one, with higher spec, and cheaper at 6499.
     
    IMO, for school and CompSci programming, either the Ryzen 4300U or 4500U would more than enough.
    The 256 GB SSD is DEFINTELY going to be too small, though.
     
    My brother went through his entire CompSci / Software Engineering degree with an ASUS laptop running a i5-3337U and a dinky GeForce 740M graphics.
    Only thing he swapped out was the slow spinning HDD for a SSD.

    Was about to ask that too - SSDs don't have RPM speeds. They are solid state.
    HDDs have RPM speeds, and 5400 RPM is pretty slow.
    I can one-up you on slow speeds - 3600 RPM on 1.5 GB.

    Sweet, gonna order an NVME SSD now and then start making these small upgrades. Hopefully he likes his christmas present. Thanks for the help! 😉
    The laptop has support for upgrades to an NVME SSD so I will install a 500GB one and keep the HDD for secondary storage. 🙂
