Options for laptop

Hi all,

I am looking to get a laptop for some light cfd work and have a few options on the table. My budget is around 1200$, so I was looking at getting something on sale or a cheaper laptop. My options are (for processors) ryzen 7 5800h or a 12th gen i5/i7. I know that the 12th gen intel chips will have better performance as they have more cores and bandwidth but I was wondering if they are worth it considering they are a bit more expensive. Any thoughts?

Hai .. i am also in the same domain.. beginner.. As my trainers suggestion for CFD light and heavy doesn't matter.. it will be on heavy side only . Day by day.. so go with latest generation processor, and good graphics.. as the whole computations will depend mostly on graphics card.. For further information..check ISV certificates..
