Pro7 AMD or Pro 5i
Last night I placed an order for a refurb Pro7 with 9955HX (not X3D) with 5070ti, 32ram and 2tb ssd.
This morning I see my bestbuy has an open box Pro 5i with 275hx, 5070ti, 32ram, 1tb ssd
The prices all said and done would be near identical give or take a hundred bucks…
All this said, which would be the better machine? I see some stories about the 9955hx largely around the battery (I plan to be at a desk or near power source most of time) but is there any reason to divert for the 5i? Or do I stick with the pro7?
Laptop will be used for mostly strong 1440 gaming and general personal use ie YouTube and other social media (don’t plan on running intensive programs outside of gaming)
