Im looking for purchasing a laptop editing video on premier pro and for motion graphic. im wondering which is more better and wont lag when im editting halfway, between these 2 spec, one have better processor and one have better graphic card: Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 AMD Ryzen 7 4800H Processor 8GB SO-DIMM DDR4-3200 Ram 512GB SSD M.2 2242 PCIe NVMe 3.0x4 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti 4GB GDDR6 ; MSI GF63 10th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 processor, GeForce® GTX 3050 graphics 4GB GDDR6, 8GB DDR4 Ram, 144Hz Refresh Rate

    Sorry, but 8 GB total of system RAM is not enough to perform much, if any, work in Premiere Pro. In fact, even 16 GB of RAM may not be enough.

     

    That said, definitely go with the Ryzen 4800H between the two: The 10th-Gen mobile i5 that's in the GF63 is only a quad-core CPU with hyperthreading - and no quad-core CPU of any generation, even with hyperthreading, is as powerful as a recent 8-core CPU with or without hyperthreading (all else being equal). In fact, that 10th-Gen i5 is yet another tweak of the aging six-year-old Skylake architecture that debuted in the 6th-Gen Intel Core CPUs.

     

    And no upgraded GPU can compensate for a relatively weak CPU.

    You heard me correctly. Premiere Pro is still heavily dependent on the CPU performance. And between these two, the difference in performance between the two CPUs is significantly greater than the difference in performance between the two GPUs. As a result, the lesser CPU will significantly bottleneck the more powerful GPU.

     

    And because both the GTX 1650 Ti and the RTX 3050 have exactly equal memory throughput performance, that will largely determine the ultimate GPU acceleration performance. And the relatively small performance increase of the RTX 3050 is more than negated by the substantially weaker CPU with fewer cores and threads and lower clock speeds all around, resulting in that Intel i5-10200H laptop being significantly weaker overall than the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H laptop.

    What type of media will you be editing (file type and codec)?

    Both only have 8 GB RAM.  You want at least 16GB RAM, possibly more.

    Does the processor or graphic card affect more other than the RAM? I'm mostly using to edit YouTube video and using it for multimedia course in uni

    It partially depends upon the file type and codec.
