Trying to chose a laptop for my girlfriend

Hello, so my girlfriend is looking for a laptop for school work and I think we narrowed it down to three laptops.

At first she wanted a macbook but we went to the store and she seemed a little bit more comfortable with a windows computer after she looked at them for a bit.

So the options I found were:


Asus Zenbook UX305FA-FB003H
Asus UX32LN-R4046H

and Macbook Air MJVE2KS.


Which one of these is the better option?

She will mostly be using the computer for word and research and facebook. Nothing too heavy.

Chromebook I think

I know this will sound silly but they does not feel "premium" enough. At least those we looked at. She would like a laptop that looks good, feels good and preforms well.

 

 

Asus UX32LN-R4046H

Since it has A GPU not an iGPU

Sadly it only comes with a SSD of 8 gigs (weird?) and I don't know if that's big enough for her OS.

Pixel isn't available in my country. They have a information page in Swedish though which was weird.

Ah, just noticed it wasn't a regular hdd. This might be our option then :)
