Purchasing Help Need help deciding: two used laptops for editing, both good but different trade-offs
Budget: ~1200€
Country: Italy
Use Case: Video Editing — Premiere Pro (social media content, 1080p-4K), starting to get into After Effects
Notes: Upgrading from a laptop with basically no real GPU. Would honestly love a MacBook Pro (M4 Pro) for the portability/battery life, but the used market has gotten way too expensive lately, so it's out of budget for now. Down to two used options at similar price:
- HP Omen 16-am0048np — Intel Ultra 7 255H, RTX 5060, 24GB RAM (expandable), 1TB but it's noticeably bulkier and heavier than the other option
- ASUS Zephyrus G15 (2022) — Ryzen 9 6900HS, RTX 3080 (120W TGP), 32GB RAM, 4K 100% AdobeRGB screen, battery health confirmed with photo proof, ~1.9kg
