The top one comes with a PC protector. That will come in handy when you frying up some pork right next to your computer.
 
The Wok heavy-gauge Aluminium construction

Both will not work on an induction cooker as they are made from non-magnetic material.

I have an induction cooker and from the manual.

Induction hobs only work with pots and pans that contain ferrous metal in the base. To check if your pans will work, hold a magnet next to the pan base; if it attracts, the pan will work on induction. Another way of checking is to pour a small amount of water into the pan and then place it on the cooking zone. If the display starts flashing, the pan is not compatible.

Full stainless steel, aluminium, copper, terracotta or pyrex don't contain ferrous material, so theoretically they won't work. However most pan manufacturers are now producing pans which are suitable for use on induction cooktops, even if they are made from some of the materials mentioned above. This is because they are incoporating some ferrous material in the base of the pan. Look out for the induction symbol when buying new cookware.

They are both under the "induction cookware" section, so I assumed they would both work for induction stoves. The first one also clearly specifies in the description that it would work for induction:

"The Wok heavy-gauge Aluminium construction provides fast, even heating, while stainless-steel warp-resistant bases make the Wok compatible with any cooktop, including induction."

Should I still rather look for something else? I went Game, Checkers etc and between all the shops I only found one induction-friendly pan, never mind an induction-friendly wok. I even tried carrying a magnet around to test them xD
