Which laptop should i buy ?

[RendyYohanes]

hi, im a college student, im learning architechture, the application im using is Sketchup, ArchiCAD, and photoshop for lighting etc, and i also play game such as GTA V , Valorant, Rocket league, Genshin Impact, and more. So i've found 2 laptop that quite fit my budget and needs, that is :
1. HP OMEN 16-c0092AX (Ryzen 7 5800h, and RTX 3070, display 100% sRGB)
2. ASUS TUF F15 2022 (Intel i7 12650h, and RTX 3060, display 100% sRGB)
im quite confused since sketchup, and archiCAD rendering is using GPU more , and Photoshop is using CPU (correct me if im wrong). So should i choose i7 12650(TUF) since the multi core is 13% better, and single core is 26% better than ryzen (according to nanoreview comparisons) or should should i choose RTX 3070 (Omen) since my main application is using GPU more ?

(sorry for my bad english)

No idea if the the case is still the same as a few years ago but I'd go with the HP based on older power consumption. Ryzens used to sip power compared to intel but seeing that you want the big bulky laptops, I have doubts you'll use it anywhere when not plugged in so this Ryzen advantage is likely irrelevant for you.

 

As for what your apps use, if they prioritize GPU over CPU then yes, go with the 3070.

Even if you can't wait for Ryzen 6000 laptops to reach mass market, I'd still go with the RTX 3070 Omen for your use case. The 5800H is still plenty fast for your CPU based workloads, and I don't believe the 3070 will be thermally challenged

Neither!

 

Either op for a asus g series with the good color display or for a lenovo legion 5. About the same price but better in all ways.

i havent checked asus G series yet, but for Lenovo Legion 5 its quite overated in my country, so the price was too high for my budget

I'm actually in the process of negotiating for a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (AMD R7 5800H, 2x 8GB DDR4 3200MHz, RTX 3070 (TGP 140W), 16" WQXGA). For my usage scenario, it'd be more for gaming, hence the emphasis on CPU and GPU, not too concern about color gamut and accuracy. Comes with 2 years Legion Ultimate support (buying it used) so I don't have to worry about product support. I'll be using it when I go overseas (expecting to go to Toronto end of year'ish) and perhaps Thailand as well. This is gonna sate my gaming itch while I'm away from my main rig.
