Which laptop is best for an IT student?

Question

laptops

The question is quite common, but still.
I am studying for an IT specialty and choosing a working machine for myself (namely a laptop)
The budget is limited, so I would like to use it as rationally as possible
There are already two options between which I choose, so I would like to hear a detailed opinion
of HP ProBook 445 G6 (Ryzen 5 Pro 2500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Radeon Vega 8)
Asus X570ZD-FY418 (Ryzen 5 2500U, 6GB RAM, 256GB SSD, GeForce 1050 2GB)
Maybe you have a better offer around $600-700
Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

8 Gb is better
even better, who allows the memory to be expanded
if you don’t play games, if you play - better is the one in whose mind your favorite game is better

Answer 2

Why no one said about overheating? Why are you silent about the problems of laptops on ryzens? The processors are good, no doubt, but the cooling does not match in every machine, so there are also video cards that are not needed at all in a working machine.
My personal opinion, if you need a reliable Portable machine, then Intel, without a discrete video card. My favorites: Lenovo ThinkPad, ThinkBook and Dell Latitude lines
