I was looking through Costco to get a laptop and I found these two laptops. They are both Lenovo Flex laptops with almost the same specs; the only difference is that one uses an 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1355U processor with integrated Intel graphics whereas the other uses an AMD Ryzen 7 7730U with AMD Radeon graphics. Unfortunately, Costco didn’t specify what the models for the graphics cards were for either laptop.

This is the link for the Lenovo Flex with the Intel Processor: https://www.costco.com/lenovo-flex-5i-16%22-touchscreen-2-in-1-laptop—13th-gen-intel-core-i7-1355u—windows-11—abyss-blue.product.4000217596.html

This is the link for the Lenovo Flex with the Ryzen processor: https://www.costco.com/lenovo-flex-5-14%22-touchscreen-2-in-1-laptop----amd-ryzen-7-7730u—1200p—windows-11.product.4000138521.html

If possible, I want to do some minor gaming, specifically with indie games, but I’ll mainly use it for college. Will it matter which one I buy?

    Ryzen will have superior CPU performance

    Ryzen will have superior GPU performance

    Ryzen will be a little more efficient, since they have the same battery, that will mean it will get a little better battery life.

    The Ryzen due to being a 14" instead of 16" will not have a +10 keypad.

    I’d get the Ryzen since it doesn’t have the +10 keypad. I REALLY hate those things on laptops.
