Vivobook or Zenbook 13

[Smajke22]

Hi ya'll

 

I often find myself here when I'm deciding on what to buy next. While I do most of my research by myself, I usually want a 2nd opinion. Currently in the market for a laptop that would be used for programming, 3d design and video editting. I've found myself leaning towards Asus since Macbooks are a bit pricey here and the rest dont fit me (I would however take suggestions). The 2 laptops I'm currently looking at are at the same price with the main difference being that the Zenbook 13 is refurbished and the Vivobook is new. Leaning towards the Zenbook cuz of specs and the crisp OLED but would love to hear ya'lls thoughts. Specs are below:
Zenbook i5-1135G7, 16GB LPDDR4X, 1TB NVME
Vivobook I5-1235U, 8GB DDR4, 512GB NVME.

I guess the Vivobook is an option cuz its new and cuz of the better processor but for my purpose, is it worth losing the additional ram and storage?.

Maybe, but what's your budget? And country?

Verify if Vivobook allows upgradeability and repairability.

Wait no your right. For 3d design more ram is actually better so I would get the zenbook
