I think the Lenovo is the obvious choice For.

For UI/UX design, you don't really need a lot of GPU power. A 940MX is a capable chip that will be sufficient for the job. RAM is much more important. I work with PSD files over 1Gb and that puts a lot on your RAM so. 8 is not enough, but 12 will be more comfortable. DDR3 and 4 won't beThere is not much of a difference between DDR3 and DDR4. i7

i7-7500U is a dual-core CPU, but as long as you don't do video editing and 3D graphics, 2 Cores can dowill be just fine ( QuadQuad core will be better though). But the thing that I find most conclusive is the SSD. thatThat alone should help you decide. DON'T GET ADon't get a PC WITHOUTwithout an SSD it's! It's as simple as that. I was going to buy a whole other laptop but I decided to upgrade to an SSD and it feels like a whole new machine. So

So to sum things up:

  • SSD is super important
  • GPU is not a big deal as long as you don't do 3D and video editing
  • A quad-core CPU is always better, but again unless you don't do 3D/video editing, Dual core is enough
  • 8Gb of RAM is not enough, 12Gb is better (RAM is expensive, keep that in mind)

So for me, the choice is obvious the Lenovo is the good choice

So for me, the choice is obvious. The Lenovo is the better choice.
