I was going for the hp because it has better specs and also looks better (the asus has a bigger screen and it's a little cheaper) but i've been reading that hp laptops are not really good if they are not their top models and what i'm more concerned about is the heating of hp laptops.
Thank you in advance!

I would go with the ASUS definitely, it has a better processor and better graphics chip. But like you said, these are on the low end. If you can afford a little more, get at least an i3 or AMD Ryzen3.

All laptops have issues with heating, their vents are mostly not in the right place

From personal preference, I have always chosen ASUS over any other manufacturer
