Hello! I've been looking for a new laptop these days and I've come across two models, one featuring rtx 3060 (TGP 140W) and the other one rtx 4060 (TGP 75W). Both of them have the same processor i5 12500h, the first one having 16GB more (32 in total). Which one should I go for? I think that the 4060's performance will be power limited so the rtx 3060 may be a better choice.
***I have seen another model, having the ryzen 7 6800h and the rtx 3060 (140W), also supporting a 2560 x 1600 resolution. In benchmarks 12500h seems to perform better though.

Do people often ask for help with preferences on here? How is anyone supposed to answer that, you haven't said anything about who, what, where, when or why you want one of these. I guess I could be wrong but I can't even recommend a computer to a client of mine without having spoken to them for awhile to get an idea of what they're going to do with it.

If it is not clear yet, I do want to buy the one who offers the most performance. I will be playing games occasionally, but most of the time I will be using the laptop for university. (I am studying computer science)

Bit over kill for some text documents? I always recommend desktops over laptops, so with that kinda money, I'd build a desktop and buy a used tablet or chromebook or something for school.
