Laptop for college

[riioKen]

Hi guys, I need advice for choosing a laptop. The budget is € 550.
I'm an IT student and i live in Italy. I need a computer that allows me to use a compiler like DevC, Maybe even put Linux in dualboot. Above all that allows me to do even a little multitaskingl, DevC, Google and YT for example running at the same time.
I have seen this HP

12gb ram, Intel i5 1035g1, FHD, 1,7Kg
But I was also evaluating the Acer Swift 3 and the Asus vivobooks, but both are sold either with a ryzen 5 3500u or with Intel 8265u, 8gb ram ecc.
How is HP posted by me? Is there anything better at 550 euros?Thanks in advance

why do you recommend this to me compared to the one posted by me?For the fact that it is convertible?You know I never understood the usefulness of having a convertible notebook. For 30 euros more, Isn't it better to have a 10th generation processor and 12GB RAM?Even SSD is bigger.
