I7 at higher speed. The Dell only has that 256Gb storage while the Asus has 1TB, may be easier to add a SSD to the asus than extra disk to the Dell.
The dell has the newest skylake i5 processor compared to the 4th gen i7 from in the Asus. Benchmark shows 6% difference in speed. I love Asus but man this dell has 4gb dedicated graphics compared to the Asus 2g.
For that GPU and resolution 2GB is all that is needed.
The I7 42nd place the I5 80th http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-List.2436.0.html
Ok, next question. I know the dell has the availability to add an extra SDD or HDD. Am I able to add a SDD drive to the Asus. I would like to add SDD for the convienience of speed with the SDD . I don't know what you think?
