I'd get the first one, even if it does run hot.

Both laptops are very similar but I recommended the first one over the acer.

ryzen is 20% better as a workstation which will benefit you more.

Both gpu's are very similar - I have a desktop 580 8gb and can play most games on high / ultra on 1080p

also 16gb is nice for workstation and gaming

Both are mediocre

 

Where are you from? Preferred max weight and min battery life?
