What is the price of that thing. And why r u buying it. Both seem terrible

The second one, the Asus Zenbook, would be a better option.

Both use PenTile (RG/BW) not-true-4K displays, regarded commonly to be deceptive marketing on part of the companies. More info in the sidebar on http://reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop/. I think the new Omen 15 (the one with one hinge) resolves this, and it was never an issue on the Omen 17, but those laptops aren't your only options.

 

Be aware 4K has tradeoffs in that not all apps scale correctly. For the Adobe suite you currently have to use a workaround to make text and menus not tiny, with that workaround you only get the detail of 1920x1080 inside the software. I'd suggest checking how well your video editing software handles high DPI.

 

The Dell XPS 15 uses a true 4K display that also has 100% Adobe RGB (use a color profile to tone it down to sRGB). Good deals on refurbs, especially if you use coupon e10sitewide that expires today, or another coupon at a later date.

 

The Lenovo Yoga 720 4K model (price check) is also true 4K. Near 100% sRGB. Same for the albeit non-touch Dell Inspiron 7567 4K model which you can also find in the Dell Outlet for cheaper.

 

If you decide not to go for a high resolution, the Yoga 720, Dell XPS 15, most Clevo N-series through Eluktronics, and most Clevo P-series in general have 1920x1080 IPS displays with good color gamut, to name a few.
