Which laptop to buy

I am confused between the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT 120Hz (Ryzen 5-3550H/8GB RAM/1TB HDD + 256GB PCIe SSD) and the HP Pavilion Gaming (Ryzen 5-4600H/8GB/1TB HDD/Windows 10/NVIDIA GTX 1650 4GB)

They are both at nearly same price.

I am not able to decide to whether to go for the latest processor or the 120hz display and 256gb ssd.

Please help me out over here.

(i am getting them in a sale so no other option is available for my budget)

Mobile Ryzen 4000 is a BIG step-up from 3000, so I'm leaning towards the HP, though the lack of an SSD is a big minus if you can't afford an SSD upgrade to go along with the laptop.

Desktop: Intel Core i9-9900K | ASUS Strix Z390-F | G.Skill Trident Z Neo 2x16GB 3200MHz CL14 | EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC Ultra | Corsair RM650x | Fractal Design Define R6

Laptop: 2018 Apple MacBook Pro 13"  --  i5-8259U | 8GB LPDDR3 | 512GB NVMe

Peripherals: Leopold FC660C w/ Topre Silent 45g | Logitech MX Master 3 & Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed | HIFIMAN HE400se & iFi ZEN DAC | Audio-Technica AT2020USB+

Display: Gigabyte G34WQC

Thanks for your reply.

Another version just got in stock ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DT 120Hz Laptop GTX 1650 4GB Graphics (Ryzen 5-3550H/8GB RAM/512GB PCIe SSD).

This one is 60$ cheaper so i think i should go with this and get a hdd upgrade later

Get the 4600H. It's over two times faster than the 3550H. It also runs cooler and delivers much better battery life.
