Hi, I'd like to reach out to any laptop enthusiast out here to get me out of my dilemma
Been looking around for a decent "entry" level laptop that i could use on a daily basis and could handle a bit of a lite gaming and come across these Tongfang's product. These two fit my budget even after a little upgrade perfectly(RM3000 - 3500) but I cant decide which one should I go for (T_T) Intel vs Ryzen
Im using them for just a light work of photo/video editing, a little bit of gaming(android emulator, csgo, league), and just a normal daily usage of perhaps browsing and that's about it for now that i could think of.
If you have an even better suggestion apart from these two I'd be more appreciated to know. The only thing im concerned of is its weight, as I prefer a lightweight laptop cuz I'll be carrying it around for most of the times. But still, open to suggestions. If it weight more yet will deliver more within the budget range I'd no reason to turn it down.
Anyway, sorry for wall of text, have a good day! :)
Also, here are the specs for the two mentioned(copy from website) :
Raven SE - 15.6″ Full HD IPS INFINIVISION Display (60Hz/120Hz) - 10th gen. Intel i5-10300H / i7-10750H - Nvidia GTX1650 4GB GDDR6 - 16GB DDR4 2933MHz RAM (up to 64GB) - Samsung 512GB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 6TB) - Tactile Keyboard with Single-zone RGB - Intel or Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX
1.95kg | 22mm
Ionic 15 RYZEN - 15.6″ iRIS FHD IPS sRGB 100% INFINIVISION Display - AMD Ryzen 5 4600H / Ryzen 7 4800H - AMD Radeon Graphics - 16GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM (up to 64GB) - Samsung 512GB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 2TB) - Big Capacity 92Wh Battery - Magnesium Alloy Body with Protective Coating - Ultra-tactile Keyboard with White Backlit - Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6
1.45kg | 15mm

Beware of bad QC on Illegear batteries. They get swollen within 1 year.

They get swollen within 1 year. that's something new, i havent found a single comment about its batteries while researching ty for the heads up. A friend of mine recommended Asus TUF A15 R7 instead, apart from the cooling issue(very little airflow) i find it somewhat acceptable at that price point (RM4k) or is it?

Only downside is have to wait

Only downside is have to wait I see, bcs it's a gaming laptop and especially not the expensive one so I reckon expecting it to perform decent while maintaining the temp low is quite the impossible job to do or at least that's what most of the gaming laptop reviews said. I'll look into it, thanks for help!
