im torn between these 2 variants, the other specs and price are the exact same except that ai 7 350 is copilot + certified and has better features like a better webcam housing w windows hello and other features and also a few cosmetic upgrades

the ai 7 350 is significantly more power efficient and is tiny bit better in single cores but worse in multi cores

idk if that performance downgrade would be significant and if i should go for the r7 260 or not... currently leaning towards ai 7 350

my use case would be basic college stuff alongside playing cpu heavy games like fortnite valorant and cs

7 260 has a better igpu (780M VS 860M)

getting both w 5060 and oled

i wanna buy a new laptop but am skeptical about buying a windows laptop especially with all the recent fuss about ram, storage and windows shit

my budget is decent around 1.5L and i can buy a brand new macbook pro w it too

ion play much games ill be just playing roblox

other then that will it be bad to switch to macos? like i know i wont have the freedom with my machine like i do with a windows laptop but would it be that much more affecting also will it cause me any trouble in the future with my studies if i go with a macbook

im a cloud student 25 batch

light gaming (i only play shooter games like fortnite valorant cs)

need it for college

preferably oled

NEED high refresh rate (i would love to have a 240hz screen but id be fine with less if the other factors make up for it)

dont care about screen resolution

dont want smth which is really heavy or ugly looking

i really want to go for a macbook pro some times because i have an ipad pro to pair it up with
