With my current budget im able to get one of those 450-500$ Ryzen 5500u laptops, but I figured that should I save up a little more and go for a 800-1000$ gtx 1650 gaming laptop? The wait can be up to 2 years, though
Mostly gaming, productivity use, video editing (after effects) and schoolwork. I'd thought about the 6core ryzen 5500u could be a solid choice for editing but as for gaming with the integrated gpu, not so much. I'm definitely willing to wait since I do have an old laptop which I still use but it's not one that can run games or edit heavily. (i3 6006u 8gb ram)What do you need a new laptop for?
Chances are you'd be able to buy something much better in 2 years, if you are willing to wait that long.

sorry for taking a month to reply, long story short I decided to hang on to it and wait for next year to get an overall better gaming laptop. If you don't mind answering, how likely is it for budget gaming laptops prices to drop around 2022?Few thoughs:
- You're definitely going to want more than 8GB RAM for After Effects, so whatever you choose, make sure it either has 16gb or make sure you can add RAM later (i.e. the RAM isn't soldered)
- An H processor will be better for gaming than a U processor (assuming you don't go for a laptop with a dedicated GPU). I reckon a good H processor with 16gb RAM will let you do quite a lot of gaming at decent FPS, and it should be lighter/more portable without the dedicated GPU. I'd suggest you aim for about 1.7kg/3.5lbs max if you actually intent to take it around with you a lot.
