Need help choosing a laptop (for electrical engineering student) (Ignore this, theres not much useful info here)

[The_Tron]

Hey guys. So as mentioned above, i need to get a laptop. Firstly, i REALLY wanted to go with ryzen 5000, but availability is terrible here. Also, i dont have many other options available in stores, and these laptops have similar specs. So, i need your guys help on which laptop would last the longest (durability), has the best battery life, and good thermals. Note that i dont really need more performance than this, although i would've happily taken ryzen 5000's 8c/16t any day of the week.

Do note that for me, all this laptops are priced within about 200$ of each other, so dont judge them based on price. For specs, click on the links provided. Prompt help would be greatly appreciated, as i need to get a laptop within the next few days.

So here are the laptops:

 

Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3, Intel Core i7-10750H, 15.6" FHD, 16 GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD, Nvidia GTX1650Ti 4GB, Eng-Arb, Windows 10 Home, Onyx Black-[81Y40039AX]: Buy Online at Best Price in UAE - Amazon.ae

Intel + gpu will be very hot, keep that in mind.

A slim and light ryzen 5000 without gpu will be better on your back.

well, as i said before, i cant get ryzen 5000 here. i need good processing power and some gpu. keep in mind that the gpu wont be pegged all the time, only some workloads will use it, and that too lightly

The ideapad has poor thermals

The legion is the last gen legion that still has the hinge issue

The nitro 5 is "ok"

 

I mean all of these have poor battery life too so keep that in mind that about 2 hours is what you'll get at most.

ah, i didnt know abt the hinge issue.

alright, i know its dumb to ask this now and not at first, but do i really need a dGPU for my electircal engineering course? RN i use programs like teams, the ms office suite, a handful of other programs and MATlab. MATlab is the biggest resource hog. So do i really need a dGPU?

If that is all that will ever happen then no not really. Got any options for a ryzen 4000 laptop? They are often in sale right now and there are a fair few nice laptops with them for pretty cheap.
