They both work, the Acer speed could be improved with an SSD
The Asus comes up fast.

On my Q550LF I have replaced the HDD with a 128G SSD and replaced the ODD drive with a caddy to hold the HDD. I have the speed of a SSD and the space of HDD at low cost. Nowadays a SSD is very affordable but at the time I received the laptop it wasn't.
I suggest you replace the HDD on the Q550LF with a SSD. Mine boots in 25 Sec.

They were donations for school use from a former school board member-friend.
I can make suggestions. My wife brought them home for me to get working with win11 pro
To make the ACER better an SSD will definitely help a lot.
Things being what they are, who knows what will happen.

So far I like the Q550LF with lit screen keys and the Nvidia card. Maybe they will give it to her. She works as a librarian- study hall, Used to be one of their English high school teachers.
