Hi all, looking for a laptop for working from home/general use. I will be using it for Microsoft office, browsing, netflix, youtube. Would this laptop be any good for light gaming also?

Can somebody tell me if these are any good? Also, which would you pick?

If you wouldn't recommend either of these two is there something you could advise of around the 600 euro mark. Thanks

The second one is better as it has dedicated MX250 graphics card. Just make sure a 15.6 inch laptop isn't too big for you as some prefer 14 but overall, the second one looks good

don't think that Asus has an mx250 in that model .

seems to a couple of errors there

e.g. same model number listed here (M509DA-EJ034T) without is https://www.laptoparena.net/asus/notebook-asus-m509da-ej034t-90nb0p51-m05690-silver-33331

that said would prob still go with the asus as the ideapad 3 has a very dim screen

Ah fair that's strange alright. Would've been a decent deal with the MX250
