Can I get some help with deciding between these two laptop deals on right now?
I’m looking for a new laptop. Main purpose is for daytrading which I use a couple monitors to hook up to. Some of the programs I use recommend a dedicated GPU. If I did play any games, it would probably be pretty light. I’m also just wanting to be a little bit future proof. At least a couple years before it gets too outdated.
I’m down to the Dell XPS 15 vs lenovo legion 5i Gen 7 laptops. Specs are as follows:
