Should I buy this laptop now?

All the links provided are in German, but it should be fine since the specs are self-evident.

OK, so there is a big sale on the following hp omen 15, that now costs 1000 euros:

It lacks 16gb RAM, but I can fix that with an additional 70 euros.

Now the dilemma is that this particular model only has a Ryzen 5 5600H and there is a possibility for the same laptop, but with a Ryzen 7 5800H - https://www.alternate.de/OMEN/15-en1178ng-Gaming-Notebook/html/product/1731775

Or

a Lenovo legion 5, also same specs, bar the Ryzen 7 5800H - https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08THLYWM5?linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&creativeASIN=B08THLYWM5&tag=geizhalspre03-21&ascsubtag=6XNtRA4zVZLeijZqbRThQ

to get a sale too, especially considering Black Friday is coming soon, however even with the sale, compared to the current offering it will probably be around a 100 euro more expensive still.

So to summarize, right now and for 2 days more, I have the ability to buy the first laptop I mentioned, however there is a chance that a better one, only in terms of the the CPU, might become available later on, but would be at least 100 euros more expensive.

So, should I risk not buying the current offering in hopes that soon I might be able to buy a slightly better option for a bit more money?

My current laptop is a MSI GT72 2qd, which has lasted me for a long 6 years and I'd like for my new laptop to last me at least 3-4 years. So the only reason I'm considering the Ryzen 7 is for futureproofing and longevity. Considering how in most tasks there won't be much difference, since I just mostly do programming, gaming and an occasional linux subsystem on windows(basically a virtual machine) on my laptop.

Yeah, but even so, the same omen might come up later with a slightly bigger price but with a ryzen 7.
my main issue here is if I should risk loosing this opportunity to get the ryzen 5 for cheap, just for a chance to get a ryzen 7 for a bit more.
This isn't a Lenovo vs HP contest here, it a ryzen 5 vs ryzen 7 one

cpu matters these days above 60hz gaming as at high framerates the cpu is the bottleneck......if you plan on 165/144hz gaming yes the faster cpu might be the better choice
