I think UX430UQ is better than S410, because in S410 Hard is bottleneck.
Huh? What is "hard" that causes a bottleneck?
Do you mean one of the laptops has a spinner hard drive, and the other one has a SSD? I looked at Asus' site at the specs, and Asus lists they both come with a SSD:

The i7-8550u would be the better CPU, but there's a lot more to laptops than just the CPU. That said, I personally wouldn't buy any laptop or PC that only has a dual core CPU in 2018. Quad-core CPUs are the minimum I would go with (especially on the low power 'u' Intel mobile CPUs.

Thank you,
If We suppose "Asus S410" just has HDD.
Even if that one has a HDD, I think I would still go with it as long as the HDD could be replaced with a SSD.
I couldn't in good faith go with a dual core CPU in almost 2019. People generally keep laptops for a while, so I'd want something that would be fast enough so I could enjoy using it, instead of always thinking how slow things got when multitasking.
Thank you for your reply,
Suppose we can't replaced HDD with SSD in S410 . Now which one is better?
Yes.
Hello,
Which of these is better?
Asus UX430UQ - Core i7- 7500U (2-Core) , 8GB DDR4 , 512GB SSD - 14inch
Asus S410 - Core i7 - 8550(4-Core) - 8GB DDR4 , 1TB HDD - 14Inch
I think UX430UQ is better than S410, because in S410 Hard is bottleneck.
i think if you arnt planning on gaming at all you are way better off looking for something with an 8th gen mobile i5 (still 4 core 8 thread) with an ssd(256gb ish, prolly gonna be 500gb for same price soon) for around $500 usd. For general use outside of gaming you would have way better user experience. I cant stress enough how import ssd is in most cases, as far as user experience, it makes a HUGE difference, you will thank yourself while not having to wait while windows does a 30-45min long update as apposed to a nice snappy maybe few min update which you are tapping your toes cursing *this normally only takes 45secs....geeeez i have to wait 3 WHOLE mins omg...* trust me its worth it.As a possibly better alternative this looks pretty good:
