Hi, A friend of mine wanted to buy a computer, and asked me for his advice, and I came across options that was hard for me to choose between.

1.option:
ASUS TUF GAMING FX505GM [LINK]

2.option:
OMEN BY HP [LINK]

Table below shows the important features the laptops have and also which I found from the links above.
Asus laptop also has 7.1 surround virtual sound system as opposed to HP.

So, which laptop would you guys suggest, thanks in advance.

EDIT: the links are in another language ( norwegian). But you can look at the pictures

using it for?

For gaming. The user will play Fortnite mostly.

If they are single channel RAM I wouldn’t even bother unless going to immediately upgrade to a dual channel kit. Gaming laptops just should not be sold with single channel RAM. It will stutter and performance is wasted.

yea, seen videos on youtube on performance loss, but i do not have that much of a choice, as ether 16gb versions cost more or equipped with worse gpu/cpu.
