AMD 1700 or i7-7700hq (i7-8750h) for laptop

[b5022527]

I will mostly be using the new laptop for producing music on Ableton.
My typical ableton session would consist of say some samples, 10 serums, a couple of sylenths and a reasonable about of audio effects. Nothing like a whole orchestral set, but imagine house/electronic dance music at a near to professional level.

I have found a couple of laptops I am interested in with two different makes of cpu. I was wondering what would be better for this purpose:

1. Asus with a AMD 7 1700 https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-GL702ZC-GC104T-17-3-inch-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B073Q4G661/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1526420581&sr=1-1&keywords=1700+ryzen+laptop

2. Dell with i7-7700hq (Has a much lower cpu benchmark score, but higher single rating) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-Inspiron-15-5-Inch-Gaming-Laptop/dp/B078QBZGSF/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1526420679&sr=1-1&keywords=7700hq+laptop+16gb

3. I have also looksed at laptops with Coffee lake inside. This computer is a little bit more in price but my budget may stretch to this if it is worth it. This being i7-8750h https://www.amazon.com/8th-Gen-i7-8750H-processor-FireCuda-GL503GE-ES73/dp/B07BPB158F/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1526420885&sr=8-11&keywords=i7-8750h+laptop+16gb

Thanks for your time!

Ryzen 1700, it will be far better for your needs. Im sure the i7-8750h is good also but I woudl save the money and just get the 1700. And since the new Ryzen 2s have come out the laptop may go on sale.

The AMD is more than enough, and will demolish the 7700hq for what you want. Not worth spending the extra money on the 8750h.

Nothing like a whole orchestral set, but imagine house/electronic dance music at a near to professional level. Ableton I have heard is A LOT more beneficial using faster stronger cores compared to say more of them
