So, I'm decided to buy one laptop which I'm going to use when on trips to work on my Unreal Engine 4 projects (3D). Laptop should have RTX 2060 or 2070 but don't know what CPU is best or which laptop exactly? What do you think about laptops with Ryzen 7 4800H? Thank you.
 
If you can find a Ryzen 7 4800H paired with an RTX 2060 or even better RTX 2070, then I would go with that. Specially if weight and money matters. Also battery life should be better than competing performance intel CPUs.

On intel side you have the i7 10875H and i9 10980HK. From all the reviews I read and watch the i7 can't really compete agains't the Ryzen 7 4800H, even if you go with one of those "big" laptops that have beefiers coolers that can unlock the pl2 limit on the intel chip. Now the i9 (names is too long to write) is better than the i7 (same thing) and when able to raise PL2 limit, it can be better in a few (mostly single threaded) scenarios vs the Ryzen 7 4800H, but yeah laptops with it usually cost a lot more and are also biger and heavier, and when multi core the Ryzen 7 4800H seems to be the best option.

There are lots of reviews out there so try and go read and watch them, it takes time yeah, but it helps you understand what youre buying. Heres one:

Thanks mate, I was told to get with 4900HS but I can't find it here in Ireland so I'll look for 4800H as you advised :D thanks a lot.
