Hey guys I'm confused in buying two different versions of the same laptop. I'll post the configurations: This is for $815 Processor : Intel Core i7-9750H processor with max trubo speed of 4.50 GHz | RAM : 8 GB of DDR4 system memory, upgradable to 32 GB using two soDIMM modules Storage : 256 GB, PCIe Gen3, 8 Gb/s up to 4 lanes, NVMe SSD + 1 TB 2.5-inch 7200 RPM | OS : Windows 10 Home 64-bit Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with 4 GB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM This is for $900 Processor: Intel Core i5-10300H processor, turbo up to 4.5 Ghz Memory: 8 GB of DDR4 system memory, upgradable to 32 GB Storage: 1 TB HDD 7200RPM + 256 GB SSD Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650Ti with 4GB of dedicated GDDR6 VRAM In essence - I get a i7 Processor but a GDDR5 VRAM GPU in less cost than a i5 processor with a GDDR6 VRAM GPU for extra 100$. Also the GPU comes soldered to the motherboard. Very confused which one should I go for! Please help me out guys.

This appears to be a mid-range laptop, possibly with average cooling performance. From a technical standpoint, the i5 model seems like a reasonable choice.

Thank you for replying. This is the Acer Nitro 5. My basic work would be running audio recording and video editing softwares , programming and gaming!

Userbenchmark shows the CPUs are quite alike, meaning for $85 you’d get a marginally better graphics card. If you prefer, choosing the cheaper option seems like a smarter move—it offers better value.

It seems the i5 would work well, but the i7 might face overheating problems, so opt for the i5 instead.

Thank you for your message! The i5 10th Gen is also a new release from Intel compared to the i7 9th Gen.
