Hi everyone, I’ve recently started looking for a new laptop for everyday usage (for example college, gaming, editing, programming, watching films and anime)

I have found two good laptops with pretty outstanding specs that suit my needs, but i only have one problem. The screen size.

The first one (15.6") being fairly cheaper (around 700e), with these specs:

Name: LENOVO IdeaPad Slim 3 15ABR8 -16GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM -1TB SSD -AMD RYZEN 5 7530U Hexa-core processor -Integrated AMD Graphics -Plastic build -Full HD, IPS, 300 nits, Anti-glare, 60 Hz, 1920 x 1080 resolution screen -47 Wh battery And other smaller stuff to make the laptop look and feel more premium

On the other side we have the 14" laptop which is just 300 euros more expensive (pretty much costs 1000e) and comes with these specs:

Name: LENOVO IdeaPad Pro 5 14APH8 -16GB LPDDR5 6400MHz RAM -1TB SSD -AMD RYZEN 7 7840HS Octa-core processor -INTEGRATED AMD RADEON 780M GRAPHICS -Alluminum build -2.8K, IPS, 400nits Anti-glare, 100% sRGB, 120Hz, Eyesafe, 2880 x 1800 resolution screen -75Wh battery

Like I said the main problem (and the only one really) is the screen size since I’ll be using this laptop for the next 6 years (maybe even more) and I mainly need it for studies and gaming. Also to mention my old laptop has had a 15.6" screen and I’m pretty used to it so I don’t know if a 1.6" smaller screen will be a big change and if I should turn down such a good deal for only 300 more euros.

    Generally 14" laptops are better built in my experience. 15.6 are usually cheaply made.

    In the two you have specified the second is very clearly better
