I'm between two models of the HP Omen 15 so specs are mostly the same (dimensions, weight, ips screen...)

HP Omen 15-ax210ns Intel Core i5-7300HQ, 4 GB RAM (+ 4GB RAM), 1 TB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 (2GB VRAM) 670 + 38 = 708€

HP Omen 15-AX201NS Intel Core i7-7700HQ, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, GTX 1050 (4GB VRAM) 780€

HP OMEN 15-AX206NS Intel Core i5-7300HQ, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 128GB SSD, GTX 1050 (2GB VRAM) 800€


So, do the extra VRAM (it's not the Ti version) and better CPU (I don't plan to have a heavy MC use) worth 70€? Am I gonna need 16GB of RAM? (275GB SSD ~ 90€)

What would yout primary usage be? Unless you specify that it is going to be hard for us to answer.

I'm going to use it for gaming (but not with the most recent games) and working (text editor, browsing, light use of photoshop...). So, as I said, I really don't need an i7 because I don't use MC programms. The most demanding I'm gonna play it's probably Battlefront witch go just fine with the 1050 (high 1920x1080 60.2 fps).
