Question Buying used again, which one?

[3kstra]

So, I might be needing a "new" used laptop. Checking local listings, I found 2 laptops that caught my eye. Keep in mind, I am looking for pure performance + newer internals, but if the older laptop has better then is fine.

1st laptop:
Dell G5 5505
Ryzen 5 4600H
RX 5600M
8GB DDR4
256GB NVME
15" FHD 60hz

2nd laptop:
Asus ROG G752VS
I7 6700HQ
GTX 1070
32GB DDR4
256GB SSD
1TB HDD
17" FHD 120hz

If both of these get sold off by the time I buy em, I might buy a Razer 14 RZ09 I7 6700HQ GTX 1060. Perhaps a Dell G7 7588 I7 8750H GTX 1060 Max-Q?

Which one should I pick, and how does the Razer look? I feel Razer is kinda iffy in terms of older releases.

On pure cpu performance any of the three intel laptops are a downgrade

Fair point, maybe I should go for the Dell then. If you know, how are the temps in the G5 5505? I heard some of the current G5s get hot, though it's the ones with the Intel and Nvidia specs. I don't know about this exact full AMD one.

The Dell one is faster, and also Windows 11 compatible. Definitely could use a ram upgrade though.

the ryzen dell g5 5505 would be best option. and according to its specs it has 2 ram slots. so you can upgrade the ram easily ( its ddr4 3200 max speed ram),

Thanks for all the answers, seems like the Dell is the best for newer release date and better CPU. Say, I have been looking around some more and came across a few RTX 2060/2070 laptops. How is the 5600M compared to these 2 RTXes?

The 2060, as long as it isn't the max-Q variant, should trade blows with it, and the 2070 should be faster.
