Which laptop is better?

[johnhawk.gms09]

Hello. I'm looking for a low-end gaming laptop and have zeroed in on the following two laptops. Any help will be much appreciated.

Acer Nitro AN515-31:
Intel Core i5 - 8250U
Nvidia GeForce Mx150 2GB DDR5

Acer Nitro AN515-42:
AMD Ryzen 5 2500U
Amd Radeon Rx 560X 4GB DDR5

P.S. Please take into account the 4gb VRAM vs 2GB VRAM provided by the two.

CPUs are about equal in benchmarks, but the radeon card is double that mediocre MX150. But the AMD build comes with a lousy 4GB of ram while the intel one comes with 8GB.

Personally, I wouldn't get either, for my own reasons and taste. But of the two, I'd go with the AMD model and buy an extra stick of ram for immediate upgrade. I didn't see any prices from those links, so I can't comment on that.

Thanks @phaelax. But the AMD one has 8 gb ram too and is about $60 more expensive.
