Can someone help me compare all these 14 inch laptops? I want one that I can possibly run small indie games on and use for college classes. (Essentially Note taking and Light Gaming) Budget is around 500$ and I would rather stick to Amazon to waste some gift cards:

Side Note: I might also upgrade the ram if needed, otherwise I was already kinda looking towards the MSI. Thoughts?

    Throw out the the Rzyen 5 3500U immediately, it’s a massively inferior CPU to teh rest.

    Throw out the 1235U’s if you need to work on battery. Alder Lake is HIGHLY inefficient.

    Between the 1195G7 and the 5500U, 5500U is a higher performance CPU with better efficiency. Although the 1195G7 does have a slightly better iGP. Ultimately though, the fact that the 5500U comes with 16GB ram instead of 8GB gives it the easy nod, IMO.

    So, IMO, easy winner:
