Hi which one should i buy?
Lenovo Ideapad 5 15ITL05-A
1165G7 CPU , 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, 57Wh battery, MX 450 GPU, full hd 15.6 IPS

HP G8 255 R7
ryzen 5700u , 1tb ssd, 16gb ram, 43wh, vega igpu, FULL HD 15.6 IPS

USAGE: daily usage like multimedia, watching movies, using Office, surfing the net and etc.

Note: Long life of laptop is important to me, so i think ryzen 5700u is better than intel 1165g7 as it has more cores so i would get old later than 1165g7. I wanted to choose hp over lenovo in this case but i don't know if it has dual channel 16gb or 1 stick of 16gb ram? And also I don't know if the ram is upgradeable or not?

Thanks for your help guys

This is just my $.02, so do with it what you will. I bought a Lenovo back in 2019 Intel i7-7700 2.8g with 16GB ram and Nvidia 1050i (or maybe 60i). I replaced it in less than two years with a Dell.
