I'm new to mountain biking, if you were buying which which you pick?

I would go with the Norco, 

Just based on older vs new components. The Norco is already 1x12 vs the (What I can only assume from the pics) is a 2x10 groupset. 

High mileage carbon frame vs newer alloy frame

just my 2C

+1 for the Norco.

Also far better in the looks category

Just my thoughts.
The 10speed is much cheaper to maintain, chains, cassettes etc. A 12 spd cassette and chain is way more expensive. 
Frame wise I would go for the carbon frame.

Depends on what You like. I like the Norco, seems like the shock on the Norco is better so I will maybe go for the norco.
