Hi everyone

I need help deciding which of these two laptops I should buy as a present for my parents

-Asus Q405UA
-Dell i7375-a439gry-pus
My budget is $580 max
They really want a 2 in 1 laptop and the specs of this two are very similar arround the same price

The most demanding thing that laptop will be used for might be some soft to mid gaming and some Unreal Engine 4 fooling around while I go visit them being away from my station ( mainly 2D, nothing 3d intensive)

I know both have some major Cons like:
Dell
People reporting arround Oct/Nov having problems with the WiFi card no longer being recognized for no reason or continuous blue screens.
This issues seem to have diminish in frequenzy but still present until this February of 2019

Asus
on the other hand has an inverted motherboard which makes the sole fact of upgrading anything a nightmare. You have to go through ribbon cables and easy to strip screws.
So being the newbie that I am and them being so similar in specs Im a little bit stucked.
Im of course open to any other suggestions around that price but please also pick one of the above.
Thanks a lot for your time

The Dell is going to be the "faster" of the two, in large part of the Dell's SSD vice the Asus' HDD. The Ryzen-based Dell's APU should provide better video performance than the Intel integrated video on the Asus.

The Asus does have a greater storage capacity (1TB vs. 256GB) and a slightly larger screen.

Really a toss up, but I (personally) would go with the Dell.
