Best 850€ laptop of these 2?

[Luke290799]

Hi! Can you help me to choose which of the 2 Acer's laptops is better? I need a laptop only for youtube, programming in visual studio or matlab and sometimes/rarely play Warzone or Battlefield.

Acer 1:

• AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500U Hexa-core 2,10 GHz
• Full HD (1920 x 1080) 16:9 IPS
• RAM: 8 GB, LPDDR4X
• GTX 1650 with 4 GB
• 4 cell battery, Maximum battery life = 14 hours and maximum power = 90 W

Acer 2:

• AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700U Octa-core 1,80 GHz
• Full HD (1920 x 1080) 16:9 IPS 144 Hz
• RAM: 16 GB, DDR4 SDRAM
• RTX 3050 with 4 GB
• 3 cell battery, Maximum battery life = 10 hours and maximum power = 135 W

I would pay both 850 € because I have a student discount so I think that the Acer 2 is better for that price, but I am afraid that the rtx 3050 will consume a lot of battery even during normal operation, for example youtube, excel, matlab etc.. (of course during gaming I will always be connected to the AC charger).

What about the battery consumption?



THANK YOU
