Hi guys,

I'm going to buy a laptop for the university (about 500$, nothing expensive or fancy) and currently i have two options:

1. buying a premade HP laptop with an I5 6200U and adding it another 4GB of RAM.

2. Buying a cheaper Lenovo laptop withan I3 5005U and adding it another 4GB of RAM and a 250GB SSD.

 

what would you recommend?
