Laptop purchase

Is it worth to wait for the OMEN 15-EN0011NA N (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/hp-o...md-ryzen-7-4800h-gaming-laptop-lt-052-hp.html) or should I just go with the purchase of the LEGION 5I (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/leno...-intel-i5-10300h-gaming-laptop-lt-013-lv.html) ? or are there any other good laptops / better than the legion 5I? for max £1200 budget. Cheers guys.

I would probably opt for the 4800H with 2060.
I've seen people report of 4 core processors starting to cause issue with gaming. The 2060 also has the capability of DLSS 2.0 too.

I'd be looking for at least a 6 core cpu like a 4600h or 10750h even if it meant dropping down to a 1660ti for under £1200.

I'd be looking at the 8 core AMD Ryzen, not the current generation of 4 core Intels. The video in this thread is worth a watch:

I never even noticed that thread you created. I've got the core 17 on order which I'm hoping will ship this week.

Not created by me but I hope it is useful

Ah so it is, my mistake. I've just woke up so heads a little foggy.
