On Office H&S -- not an issue at all.
On the Dell having wireless -- it says it does. OTOH, the HP appears to have somewhat better wireless.
Both will read and write CDs and DVDs, according to their specs.
Overall? I think I'd probably go with the HP for your described needs.

HP doesn't list the Ryzen model number, and the only 2.6 GHZ model I could find is a mobile processor. The i3 8100 is a very respectable processor competitive with previous gen. i5's, and I'd expect it to outperform a 2.6GHZ Ryzen 3 by a pretty wide margin. OTOH I wouldn't buy a system with only 4GB that shares system memory for video.
