Hello Student,

First of all I want one unit you because you have found two very good quality HP laptop model. Both of the laptop has 512 GB of SSD and both to have 8GB RAM which is a very good quality indication. As your mentioned that you want to do coding on those for that graphics cards are also installed in both of the models. Actually there is a one huge difference between them. Although we all know that windows 11 is quite buggy in feature. But however HP pavilion laptop provides you the feature of windows 11 in build and also gives you Microsoft office home and student version 2019 for free with the laptop. If you have budget issues then go for the first model otherwise you can go for a HP pavilion laptop because it is a good kind of laptop as per my personal experience. Hope this will help you
