Hi. I need thin and small laptop with decent hardware for university.

I will use the computer for these: JavaScript programming, Photoshop, video editing-rendering and gaming.

The games i want to play: GTA V, World Of Warships, Red Dead Redemption 2, Control, PREY and Far Cry 6.

I found these 2 models at around similar price tag in my country. Acer is bit cheaper.

Acer Swift X SFX14-41G Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800U 8C/16T 1.9 GHz/4.4 GHz Max

dGPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 4GB GDDR6 (40W)

RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz(not sure if it's dual channel or single).

SSD: 512 GB M.2 NVMe

Monitor: 1920x1080 IPS 60Hz 14"



Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401QC-BM206 Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS 8C/16T 2.8 GHz/4.4 GHz Max

dGPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 4GB GDDR6 (60W)

RAM: 8GB DDR4 3200 MHz Single channel

SSD: 512 GB M.2 NVMe

Monitor: 1920x1080 IPS 60Hz 14"


Which one should i get?

I'd pick the Acer because it has more ram out of the box, while the rest of the specs are essentially just copy/pasta'd from one another. Though if your budget allows, see if you can find a laptop with the same specs except for the GPU, whereby you look for an RTX 3060.

Thanks. I cannot afford RTX 3060 laptops at the moment. If i find one on sale i'd get it. The performance of RTX 3050 meets my expectations very well.
