Hi @antlev as @ubuysa has said we need a few bits of info before we can really give spec advice.
Budget (always important!)
Uses (gaming, video editing, photo editing, streaming, etc. as much info as you can provide is really helpful)

It would also be helpful if you could include the links to reconfigure the two laptops you've chosen in your post above.

Budget is around £800 to £900 once I have convinced the wife just how much a new laptop will cost as for use, occasional films and streaming but mainly word processing as I am an author (not very successful but hey) my accounts and general anti social media.
Should have said my current laptop which is now over five years old the key board has taken a hammering and had to be replaced but its starting to give problems again on letters not working correctly and the mouse pad is badly worn so need something a little more robust, also having issue again after one screen replacement of every time I move the laptop it powers off so I have some sort of connection issue or power supply issue and had the Hdd replaced to a SSD but cannot really justify any more expenditure so looking to replace.
As for the links not sure how to include them but will give it a go, hope they work

@antlev the links are from the configurator, not from your PC :) when you click next on the configurator there's an option to format your specs for the forum.

Those are links to files on your PC and they're not Internet accessible I'm afraid. In any case we prefer that you don't post pdf files on here because we can never be certain of their content. Just cut and paste the raw text. :)

I will have to order a new laptop soon as this current one is getting worse and the powering off is almost constant unless i do not move and even then it powers off all by itself so am getting desperate to order a new laptop asap

I'm not a laptop person so my knowledge when it comes to the chassis and their differences is minimal...however, for your uses, I think either laptop would be fine.

Personally, I'd go with the Lafite as I think it looks nicer. Anyway, I'd make a couple of small changes...will take you a bit over-budget but worth it:

Chassis & Display
Lafité Series: Aluminium Chassis: 15.6" Matte Full HD IPS LED (1920 x 1080)
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i7 Quad Core Processor i7-10510U (1.8GHz, 4.9GHz Turbo)
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair 2666MHz SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 8GB) - Increased to 16GB in case your uses change as it is cheaper than adding/replacing RAM later
Graphics Card

INTEL® HD GRAPHICS (CPU Dependant) - 1.7GB Max DDR4 Video RAM - DirectX® 12
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (2000 MB/R, 1100 MB/W) - Changed from the Intel as this drive, while cheaper, has better read and write speeds
Memory Card Reader

Integrated 6 in 1 Card Reader (SD /Mini SD/ SDHC / SDXC / MMC / RSMMC)
AC Adaptor
1 x 65W AC Adaptor
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre Cloverleaf UK Power Cable
Battery
1 x Lafité Battery 54WH
Sound Card
Intel 2 Channel High Definition Audio + MIC/Headphone Jack
Wireless/Wired Networking
GIGABIT LAN & WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (2.4 Gbps) + BT 5.0
USB/Thunderbolt Options
1 x THUNDERBOLT PORT (USB-C) + 2 x USB 3.0 PORTS + 1 x USB 2.0 PORT
Keyboard Language
15" LAFITÉ SERIES MULTI COLOUR BACKLIT UK KEYBOARD
Operating System

NO ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE - Bullguard isn't necessary as the built-in Windows Defender is just as good, free (as it's part of Windows 10) and doesn't have a history of causing issues that BG does

I finally settled on the recommended configuration but do not need any operating system which has saved me a few bob
I agree that the Lafite does look a more attractive machine
