Better Laptop Option?

[Zachary A.]

Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3:

• Ryzen 5500u with Vega 7 Onboard graphics
• 8GB RAM (4GB x 2)
• 256GB SSD
• 15.6" FHD Display

or

Lenovo V15

• Athlon Gold 3150 CPU
• 20GB RAM (4GB + 16GB)
• 512GB SSD
• 15.6" Display

Straightforward question, which one is better for productivity, video editing, schoolwork and rendering?

processor-wise the 5500u is way better. (6cores/12 threads vs 2/4 )
GPU-wise the 5500u has vega7 and the 3150 is vega3 (7 gpu cores vs 3)

I score the 500u as the clear winner.

Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3, this has 6 cores and the other only has 2 so it's a clear giveaway. Also strange how the second laptop has a stick of 4gb and 16gb?

I was also initially boggled by the ram amount on the v15, but after finding out that the Ryzen 5500u is a new-release ryzen 5 mobile apu with 6 cores I knew it was the clear winner. I just made this post as a form of reassurance just in case, since in my local online retailer they both cost almost identical

as for the ram part, I wouldn't know, but thats what it's stated lol
