RBS vs Asus Zenbook 14

Trying to decide between the following:

The difference in price isn't a big deal. Mainly trying to figure out if the if the "second screen" on the zenbook is worth the lower build quality compared to the stealth 

 

Also, feel free to recommend other laptops in a similar price range (mainly looking for ultrabooks)

Neither?

 

Budget? Usage? Any preference on display size and battery life? Mind low sRGB display and non-upgradeable RAM?

Budget: ~1500 CAD

Usage: University laptop, going to be doing some programming (app development, R, Matlab), browsing, media consumption etc. May occasionally be used to play games but not a focus since I have a desktop. Being capable of light photo/video editing is a nice plus as well. 

Screen Size: 13/14

Battery Life: Prefer 6+ hours

Not too picky about the screen 

RAM: 16GB, non-upgradeable is fine.

Cannot accept 8GB non-upgradeable RAM? Fine with Intel iGPU only?
