I am a beginner game developer and want to buy a laptop. I am confused between MSI Alpha 15 B5EEK-235IN Laptop (Ryzen 7 5800H /8GB/ 512GB SSD/) and Asus TUF Dash F15 (2022)

I will most probably be using unity or unreal engine 5. As for the options available, no those two are not my only options. They are only some of the good ones I sorted. My preferred site will be amazon.in or Flipkart.

Only 8GB or will you upgrade it to something more? 8Gb for unity and ue5 is it enough?

I would prefer to have 16gb but 8 gb with extra slot is fine too so I can later upgrade it if I want to

I would go to Asus TUF Dash F15 (2022) or a Lenovo ideapad 3i.

I was going with Asus TuF dash f15 but the problem is that Asus doesn't have a very good reputation in longevity of laptops in India atleast. Many people have complained that their laptops stop working and the motherboards die very easily. I am thinking of going with Dell g15 5520 as dell has a very good reputation in longevity of laptops in India and provide really good after sales service. I am planning to keep this laptop for atleast 5-6 years. What do you think?

It depends on the usage as all laptops and the number of unit sales. In Brasil for example, the Acer Nitro is very popular, and so that, the number of laptops in the technical assistance are higher then others.
