Which one is better? Vega 8 vs 940MX vs MX130

[Guest]

I'm planning to buy a new laptop. I do play games, works on PS, Premier, App developing etc. I have a budget of maximum 45000INR. I have sorted out 3 laptops.

1. Acer Swift 3 (Ryzen 5 2500u) without a dedicated GPU
2. Acer Aspire (Intel i5 6th gen) with a 2GB 940MX
3. Acer Aspire 5 (i5 8250u) with 2GB MX130

All three i mentioned above has 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD. The Acer swift 3 has better build quality than the other 2 and it looks quite good and slim. Which one will fit the need better? Do i have any other option than these 3 under 45000INR?

The 940MX and MX130 are actually the same GPU. The MX130 is just a newer model# with slightly better performance.

CPU performance wise 1 and 3 are the same. 1 pulls a bit ahead in terms of GPU performance. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Our-first-Ryzen-5-2500U-benchmarks-are-in-and-Intel-has-every-reason-to-worry.266618.0.html

So should i proceed with the Ryzen 5 2500u?

I probably would assuming you aren't seeing any bad user reviews.

The only other major consideration is how either one handles heat. Sure #1 may be better on paper but it might hit its thermal limits sooner and start down clocking while #3 will continue to purr along at full power. Both look to have the same general body size from what I can see so they probably perform similarly thermal wise.

1 have better body finish, build quality, IPS display, Premium looks. But it lacks a GPU.
3 is a bit backward in Display, build quality. It's kind of plastiky while 1 is metal.
