Which to keep

Hello!

I recently bought a (refurbished) LOQ 15ARP9 and it arrived today, however it came with the wrong charger (400W instead of 230 or 170), and it only charges while turned off, I contacted support and they told me to return it and get a refund. In my panic because I need it for call I noticed the Best Buy near me had a really good deal on a LOQ 15IRX11 E, except I didn’t realize it was an Essentials until I unboxed it. Upon reading reviews everyone says the essentials is the worst thing ever but they both seem to have very similar specs.

They both have an AMD 7 but the 15ARP has an RTX4060 and the Essentials a 5050. I can’t afford to keep both of them so I want to return one. Any advice on which to keep?

TLDR; what’s better LOQ 15ARP9 or 15IRX11E? Main use cases are 3D, animation and coding.
