What do you think of AMD vs Intel laptops. Like prior to 12th gen almost every benchmark shown them great. A friend of mine wanted to buy a laptop for himself and wanted recommendations.

I had recommended him to go for 12th gen Intel but those were beyond his budget so asked him to go for 5800h or 5900h. His colleagues at IT department suggested him against it (AMD) by saying these gets hot and have a low lifespan.

Is it really the case?

No, on the contrary, Intel takes the cake on this front now (pwr consumption and heat).

Exactly, same were my thoughts as Intel TDP is much higher than that of AMD. Don't know how could those IT staff (who actually are handling servers and hardware stuff) would say that. I bet they never used/seen one.

This would depend upon the laptop model (and its cooling solution) in large part.

My laptop features a well-designed cooling solution with two cooling fans and 5 airflow openings in total. Manufacturer software application further provides the option to choose aggressive fan speed mode to control CPU thermals if necessary.

Additional factors and considerations are following:

1. Laptop cooling pad.
2. Room temperature.

AMD has come a long way, their mobile chip options are great while using lower wattage and generating lower heat compared to the latest Intel. The 5800h and 5900h are both great options, just make sure your friends upgrades the factory NVMe SSD with a proper samsung 970 Evo at least (unless it actually ships with a decent SSD)

I recently picked up 15 laptops for the office with ryzen 5 5500U's, working really good.

6800U is like pretty much the best mobile cpu. And in general the best cpu, other than the steam deck one. This is because it comes with a RDNA 2 iGPU! So it’s bassically a RX 6350 or something like that in an apu

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    " Both PS5 and Series X have an unlocked frame-rate here, with performance that generally lies between 30fps and 45fps. That makes for a stuttering and inconsistent output in general play, no matter what you are doing at any given time."

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
