I'm planning on picking up a new laptop in the next few days. I need something reliable for work, but I also want to be able to enjoy watching movies in decent quality when I'm relaxing.

My budget is capped at $1500, and I've narrowed my search down to two specific models. I'd love to get some insight into which one would be the better investment:

Dell Latitude 3000 series, 2XY90ES, 15.6" FHD LED (1920x1080), Intel Core i3 6006U dual Core 2.0, 8GB DDR4, 256 GB SSD, DVD-Writer, Intel HD Graphics 520, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n/ac, GbitLAN, Bluetooth 4.2, HDMI, USB 2.0, 2xUSB 3.1, FreeDOS, 2.45 kg, Grey

Dell Inspiron 15, 15.6″ FHD 1920x1080px, Intel Core i3 6006U 2 GHz, 3MB cache, Nvidia GeForce GTX 940m 2GB, RAM: DDR4 2133 4GB, HDD: 256 GB SSD

I'm leaning toward the Acer because it features a superior graphics card for roughly the same price, though I can't ignore that the Dell comes with 8GB of RAM. Is more memory worth sacrificing dedicated graphics?

I truly appreciate any advice you all can offer.

So, why wouldn't you just go with this one?

It’s got an i7, 8GB of RAM, a dedicated graphics card, Windows 10, and a 250 GB SSD.

*Just a heads up: the thing was only used for a couple of days before someone had to fix the speaker, and they slapped the wrong spec sticker on the box. It’s still under warranty through May 1st, 2020.

Plus, you've also got this option here: https://www.nabava.net/prijenosna-ra...b-hdd-58360751

Neither of those first two options is worth your money in $1500.

Look at this one instead. It’s rocking a processor that actually puts that social-climbing 6th gen Intel Core i3 6006 to shame, plus the graphics card is just as much of an upgrade.
