Good specs, no idea about the brand. Used to be good, some 15 years ago though. Usually I look for a backlit keyboard and expandable RAM. That's all that matters to me . Oh, and something above intel uhd graphics. Iris Xe or something. Lol.

 

[mahadana_muththa]

if possible go for dell one.

Apps like Zoom takes a lot of memory and CPU..

If there's less of those, you won't be able to work on other apps simultaneously..

This is part my experience, part what I've heard. I have used both Dell and Acer, and my pick is Acer. It's a mule. Hard working.
Dell is an extremely good brand but what we get here are lower grade - I've heard. Acer on the other hand is of the higher grade imported by Metropolitan. I think I agree with that, from experience.
Anyway, if the warranty is good and there's no inherent/known/regular defects then you are safe with your favourite brand I guess.
