Prices of both...
Price is necessary to know the best value you can get...
Have you checked out Asus Zenbook 14 with Nvidia MX 150 or Huawei Matebook D with AMD Ryzen 5

i'm getting both at a fair price though the envy's price is a little higher

Depends on what you want to use it for.

What'd you be using the laptop for, then I'd ask questions pertaining to the required properties needed to give you maximum satisfaction.

i'm learning Coding, plus I have an online business so I will always be online.. And I will love to at least game on it sometimes

Depends on the coding...

Generally, although you can use any laptop for programming, but for maximum operation, you'd need a laptop with more clock speed(≥2.6ghz is good)

You shouldn't be told about the Ram, although this is something you can easily buy and upgrade the laptop, but it tends to be costly depending on the size of the Ram you want to buy. (≥8gb is better, although 4gb is good too)

Some program's efficiency needs to be determined by running it on many child-processes, hence, needs more cores. Dual core systems can be efficient to run the program with two child-porcesses. But, you'd get more output by running it on a quad-core laptop(4 cpus), octacore would be very good...

Then, down to gaming and watching HD videos, you'd need a laptop with a high graphics card, while 1gb is relatively good, 2gb and more is better.


And lastly, as a programmer, one of the most important things I look for in a laptop is the battery's duration while coding. Put this in mind too. You already know how epileptic power is in Nigeria, so you'd need a battery that lasts long. That's where I normally make compromise. I can trade graphics card for longer battery.

So, check these properties in the two laptops, and make a pick yourself, or post these properties here, we can then help you narrow down the picking.

thanks for your response, I'm not using it in Nigeria zo it's safe to say the light won't be an issue.. But I still have alot to consider though now I think 'm even more confused

Alright, good that you're not using it in Nigeria.


Go for the elitebook

Thanks
