Hello Everyone? I'm having trouble in deciding which of theese three laptops (That I can afford) would fit better with Adobe Premiere's requirements. The three have 16GB RAM (I'll expand it to 32 later)

1st: Ryzen 7 5700 U (8 core) with no external video card (I think it has VEGA)

2nd: Ryzen 5 5600H (6 core) + GTX 1650

3rd: Intel i5 11260H (6 core) + RTX3060

The three have almost the same price. What would you choose according to premiere pro's needs?

With Premiere Pro increasingly utilizing the GPU in newer and newer versions (feature-wise), I would definitely recommend the third option although the second option is workable. You do want the CPU and GPU performance balance to be relatively equal, and the i5-11260H/RTX 3060 combo has the best performance balance between the two. (It shall be known that the i5-11260H is not a Skylake rehash at all like previous H-series i5 CPUs, but is instead based on the newer Tiger Lake architecture that first debuted in the low-power quad-core 11th-Generation Intel Core CPUs from late 2020.) The Ryzen 5 5600H plus GTX 1650 is a bit CPU-heavy (performance-wise), while you want to avoid the first config (the Ryzen 5700U plus only integrated graphics) if it costs almost the same amount of money as the other two due to the 5700U actually being a weaker CPU than the 5600H while the 5700U laptop's performance is being bogged down by its weakling integrated GPU.

I would opt for the Alder Lake CPU and an RTX GPU.

Not currently available in laptops, I'm afraid. Alder Lake is currently desktop only. For mobile CPUs, Tiger Lake H is about as good as one would currently go for a Windows laptop. Mobile CPUs that are based on Alder Lake are not yet available, and we do not currently know when they will be released.

I didn't say buy an Alder Lake laptop. I am saying in the year 2021 that is what I would opt for. I know a lot of people want to get a laptop but as of now I still think the desktop computer is still worth having when using Premiere Pro. Don't get me wrong. In another year or two I will build my last desktop PC because I can only imagine what an iPad and MS Surface Pro will be able to do 6 years from now.
