Upon further digging, the SKU to the HP you're looking at is; HP Victus 15-fa1093dx Gaming Laptop.
Between those two laptops, I'd play it safe with the Acer laptop since it's the only laptop between the two that has 2x slots for M.2 drives. While the rest of the specs are the same, down to the two ram slots in the laptop and upgradability to 64GB's of DDR-3200MHz ram.
