3500u in second machine has Vega 8 graphics so it doesn’t have as good a gpu. Both are 4/8, both have 8gbddr4, both have small SSDs.  both will saturate their GPUs in a game. Both would saturate either a vega10 or vega8 in a game in fact.  The first has a bigger gpu, so it will play games faster than the second.  There may be other factors besides gpu size at play though

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

I would really aim for a ryzen 4000 laptop. They have a massive performance increase over the 3000 series and a lot better battery life. The cheapest option is an acer swift that has it as of now.
