As per title, never built a laptop before and want to get into PC gaming after many years of consoles.
Looking for a hybrid gaming/work laptop which can perform well in different games like COD/eldenring etc and also handle lots of memory intensive tasks like multiple apps open, 20 or 30 browswer windows, large excel files with multiple tabs and heavy formulas using a lot of processing power.

I will be doing either gaming or working so I don't expect to be running games with all my work stuff open in the background.

So I specced this one up (I understand GPU not released yet).
I've seen lots of conflicting info about AMD vs Intel. I can spec exact same with an intel processer with virtually no price difference so what pros and cons are there for both?
This pretty much fits within my budget.

Thanks in advance.
