    Your urls are bad and you should feel bad:

    https://www.amazon.com/jumper-Quad-Core-Processor-Graphics-Portable/dp/B0D14L7CXZ/

    https://www.amazon.com/1920x1080-Portable-Computer-Speakers-Business/dp/B0D8B6TGMG/

    Also, those are both Celerons. Don’t get a Celeron. “Jumper”? WTF brand is that?

    Get a 2 year old used computer off backmarket or something. It’ll be way better:

        I prefer their URLs to yours, as you can see what you’re getting before you open the link

          Fair enough. You can put whatever you want for the text though:

    These are off-brand machines with extremely low end cpus. I would expect zero warranty support and extreme cost cutting measures everywhere. I would suggest taking a look at some of the better known brands and what they offer in this price point. Lenovo has the IdeaPad 1 line with several machines around this price point, I’m sure some of the others do as well.

    But to answer your question: the 16" has a newer and much faster CPU, more memory, and a better display ratio (this one is somewhat preference but I really like 16:10 on laptops).

    What kind of degree are you pursuing? I’m an ECE and went through college a while ago with a convertible laptop (the screen turned around and flipped over to become a tablet). These days days they’re marketed as 2-in-1 laptops.

    I took all my notes on that thing, did all my homework/projects/labs, etc. It was great to be 100% digital.

    As far as laptops go, I’ll echo buying used. You can find 2-4 year old off leanse enterprise laptops all day for under $500 on places like eBay. Enterprise laptops tend to be well built and are usually, but not always, upgradeable in terms of storage/memory. Budget laptops, even from name brands, aren’t always as durable.
