Possible Laptops: Which is most suitable?

MegandtheMoon

Hello I would really appreciate input on a couple of laptops I've been considering.

On paper, it looks the best, but I've never had an HP before so I'm a tad wary. These are the specs:

like this for example https://www.cyberpowersystem.co.uk/system/Xplorer_X6-9300
