I've been approved to get a DSA laptop and have the option to get their standard "workhorse" laptop which the only details I have are that it's: "WKH" i5-7200 2.5Ghz, 8GB, 500GB, 15.6", W10 Notebook

I have also been given an option to upgrade to the following laptops:

HP Pavilion 15-DP0003NA Core i7-8750H 8GB 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD 15.6 Inch GeForce GTX 1060 Windows 10 Home £435.00

I'm trying to decide if it's worth upgrading? Any advice would be very much appreciated
