[SOLVED] Need help deciding between 2 laptops

Solution
If you put them side by side you will see cosmetic differences but the performance is basically the same.

i5-9300h vs i5- 8300h... like 2% different
1050 3gb vs 1050 2gb...like 1% faster when more VRAM is needed.
SSD are the same
RAM is the same
Screens.. Asus is a little better
Speakers- Asus is a little better
Chassis- Asus is a little cleaner and pleasing to look at.

Overall the same but still the IDEAPAD is just slightly faster.
IDEAPAD GAMING L340

The ASUS has a slightly better screen quality and the speakers are a little louder. The Ideapad is just a little faster but not by much...... 2% at best.
OK so what you're saying is they're pretty much the same? I thought the Asus would be better built and more resistant or smth, given the difference of price from the Lenovo, and having lower specs
