[SOLVED] Intel Iris Xᵉ Graphics vs NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 Max Q (4GB GDDR6)

[skythrills]

I want to buy a laptop and there are two similar laptops from the brand Asus.

1. ASUS Vivobook 15 OLED X1505ZA-L1511WS
https://in.store.asus.com/x1505z-oled.html

2. ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 OLED (M6500, AMD Ryzen 4000 series)
https://in.store.asus.com/m6500i-oled.html

The first one comes with Intel®Core™ i5-1235U Processor 1.3 GHz (10M Cache, up to 4.4 GHz, 10 cores), and Intel Iris Xᵉ Graphics

The second one comes with AMD Ryzen™ 7 4800H/HS Mobile Processor (8C/16T, 12MB Cache, 4.2 GHz Max Boost), NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 Max Q 4GB GDDR6

I'm buying this laptop to do some UI/UX design-related work, but in the next couple of months, I intend to do some video editing (maybe advanced). I'm thinking about buying the second one (with Ryzen CPU) because it has NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 Max Q 4GB GDDR6, and the first one doesn't (it has integrated graphics). But the first one comes with Intel i5 12th gen processor.
So which one is the best in terms of me being able to edit videos better? Is buying the second laptop a better option for video editing? I know design-related work can be handed by both of them well.
Another thing is, let's say if I go with the first one (Intel), will I be able to add a graphics card later on if I need to?

Thanks!

In terms of editing video? No question, the one with discreet graphics. There is no scenario where the Iris Xe graphics are even remotely competitive with the GTX 1650 Max Q graphics EXCEPT in 2D gaming performance. For GPU compute and for 3D gaming, not even close.

Also, as far as CPU performance, the 4800H has much better multicore performance, which will be useful for most encoding and editing programs, than the 1235U, but it does have slower single core performance so for anything that primarily runs a single thread those applications might run better on the Intel CPU. But when taken as a whole, between the GPU performance and the CPU performance, I think for what you want the second option there is the better one for you with the discreet graphics.
