Not really a good deal either because of the lower screen res which is going to effect your photovideo editing , if 500 is too much out of budget then I would recommend this Acer Aspire E 15 Aspirei 37100 UWindowsE 557533 BMdpB 01 K 1 IO 3 QWrefaslisstl ? ieUTF 8 linkCodell 1 taglonerim 220 linkIdfe 5 a 6 de 9538 bb 743 efc 7 c 6646 b 024216 mainly because it comes with 1920 x 1080 resolution which is the best you can get for such a low budgetwhich is much better than both laptops you linked to , and recommended for watching moviesNetflixHulu as well as photovideo editing , it also comes with Intel HD Graphics 620 which is again one of the best iGPU that is currently available and should be able to run light videophoto editing not as well as the 940 MX on the other Acer , but is still good enough , along with 4 GB which is not enough , I would recommend making it 8 GB once you have enough budget for for smooth multi tasking , 1 TB of HDD for storage , and it fits well into your budget .
