Is it for gaming?

Does either have an SSD drive?

What prices are they?

Only Nitro have SSD. Yes, for gaming. Same price. 700£

Think I'd go for the nitro, the other one has a better graphics card, but the medion has a better cpu and ssd.

What screen resolution are they?
How much ram to they have, (system ram not graphics card ram).

Is that a hybrid drive or does it have 2 drives in it, which is unusual for a laptop.

The medion is far faster, wouldn't buy one myself though.

For £720 ish you can get a Dell Inspiron 7000 series with i5, 8GB RAM and a 4GB 1050ti is you look about

How so? The AMD is a quad, the median is duel.

In multi threaded scenarios they'd fairly close, the i5 will pull away in gaming.

£700 is close to the tipping point for a properly decent machine though, I'd save a bit more and get a true quad core at a minimum (and not yesterday's AMD offering at that)

This is common on gaming laptops. My present laptop has 3 x pcie nvme ssd bays and a hdd bay. My previous laptop had 4 x sata ssd bays and a hdd bay.

There are much better Dells for a similar price... even with a quad-core intel CPU.

Look at the Inspiron 15" 5000 / 7000 models.

Build quality means it will last longer than the ones you mentioned too.
