I need some advice, one of my nephews needs a laptop for his studies which involves some modules covering gaming development, using software like intelliJ. What is more important more powerful CPU like a i7 CPU or more spent on the graphics card element?
He has gaming PC that he shares with his brother, so this laptop is not intended for him playing games, more him using for his studies.

Would something like these be good enough
Acer Aspire 5 A515-55G - i5-1035G1, 8GB, 512GB SSD, GeForce MX350 2GB (£599)
HP ENVY 13.3" Laptop - i5-10210U, 8GB, 512 GB SSD, GeForce MX350 2GB (£599)

Or would spending an extra £100 be worth it, if so is it better to go for better CPU or graphics card??
MSI GF63 Thin 10SCSR-1055UK - i5-10300H, 8GB, 256GB SSD, GeForce GTX 1650Ti 4GB (£699)
Acer Aspire 5 A515-55G - i7-1065G7, 8GB, 512GB SSD, GeForce MX350 2GB (£699)

Or can anyone suggest anything better, ideally the cheaper the better.

Thanks in advance guys
