Is weight a concern if you are bringing to school every other days or everyday? If so, get the acer sf314-53g as it weighs 1.6kg vs 2.35kg (min) from HP pavilion power laptop 15. In terms of value and cost-effectiveness, acer seems to hit the spot but you may have to contend or compromise with a wash-out screen in outdoor use.

Depending on whats yr course
The difference is that the mx150 is a toned down gtx 1050
The diffrence in ddr5 ram is 2gb
The mx150 has 2gb ddr5 ram
While the gtx1050 4gb ddr5 ram

I think the questions are, what are you planning to use the laptop for? Both laptops generally meet the course requirements.

The HP laptop sounds better with the faster graphic but is not going to be as light as the Acer. If you don't play cutting edge new games, I feel Acer is likely to be cheaper and the better buy for school.

The MX150 is not a toned down GTX 1050. The former is a low end chip by itself, otherwise known as the GT 1030 for the desktop. Performance is also significantly different, not just about the GTX 1050 having 2GB extra ram.
