Question HP Omen vs Dell Inspiron ?

[jault20]

I'm looking for a computer and I narrowed it down to two. I plan on using my laptop for architecture classes, photo editing, and light gaming. I read about both of these laptops and they seem promising. Which one do you guys think is the better purchase?

With only one SSD in the entire laptop(not going to count the Optane drive as storage) you are limited to only one partition on the laptop, meaning if you had to format and reinstall the OS, you loose everything on the single drive. I'd advise on picking up a laptop that has a secondary storage.

I'm an architect by education and I can tell for sure that often times work files tend to duplicate like a plague, meaning you need somewhere to store them. If that is not what happens for you, you should at least look at an HDD or a secondary SSD equipped solution(or slot that allows you to drop in another SSD) so you can house your portfolio on, I'm assuming you don't have a secondary machine that has all your work on it...?

Also, where are you located and what is your budget? I had to randomly choose USA when I was met with the option for location after clicking on the links. Better read this thread.
