Hello!
So, if I have two laptops with a GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6, and one has a 6c/12t 5000 Series Ryzen CPU with a 60Hz screen (Used laptop) and the other is a 4c/8t i5 10th CPU with a 120Hz (New laptop, never used). Both have same amount of RAM and SSD and same price.
So I know that a Ryzen 6 core is a more future proof option, but I'll not be stuck on that hardware for forever, I mean that for sure my next upgrade will be with an RTX laptop and >=6 core cpu, but right now I don't have the budget for it (I'll not use the laptop for more than 5 years). I also know that a GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 is not a really powerful GPU so I'll not be able to reach really high framerate on new/modern games in High Details, but right now I'm more interested in running past games, that I wasn't really able to run at an enjoyable framerate with my current laptop, i7 6700HQ and GTX 950M 2GB, like PUBG, Rocket League, MGSV, Halo MCC, Halo Infinite (current, not really past).
I know that in games what usually really matters is the GPU, so what I thought was, if both of them have the same GPU, a more powerful CPU will not make a big of a difference, so maybe a new laptop with a 120Hz will be a more "enjoyable" choice, also because I never used or tried a 120Hz, and if I'll be able to use it at least on "older" games, it will be a nice thing.
So, which one would you choose between the two? Used 6c laptop with a 60Hz or a new 4c laptop with a 120Hz screen? I think I'm more oriented on the 120Hz but I'd like to hear more opinions ^^
Thank you!
P.S.: I'll not use the laptop for rendering or video editing, just normal daily tasks and gaming.
