hp envy 13 vs dell inspiron 15 7570

[manlykeweaver465]

I've narrowed my laptop choice down to these two, i will be using the laptop for college assignments, games development(unity and c#, mostly 2D development ATM) and web development and I've used both 13 inch and 15 inch and i like the screen size equally:

 

HP envy 13 - £730: 

i5-8250u quad core 

8GB ram 

128gb m.2 SSD

intel HD 620

 

Dell inspiron 15 7570 - £720: 

i5-8250u quad core

8GB ram (can upgrade to 16 in the future)

256gb m.2 SSD

GT 940MX 

 

i like both laptops but i do slightly prefer the HP envy 13 as its more portable, better battery life and the quality feels better, but the dell has a better GPU with the choice of upgrading the ram to 16gb  whereas the envy has the ram soldered on.

 

whats you opinion on these laptops and which one would you prefer and why ?, thanks .

Thanks for your opinion, I do prefer the envy just that the ram isn't upgradable and this isn't a deal breaker because 8gb is adequate enough currently, I'll also upgrade the ssd in the envy in the next few months to either 500gb or 1tb

I'll also do a review of the laptop after using it for a short while
