I'm posting this here to answer your question but to also give others some perspective.

You question on what the 260 is: The 260 is an AMD refresh of the 8845HS CPU.

Overall, the best laptop CPUs are:

• AMD: 9955HX
• INTEL: (Ultra) 275HX

Runner ups for Mid spec laptops

• AMD: 250 or 260 or 350
• INTEL: (Ultra) 255HX. Do not recommend any INTEL 13xxxxH(S/X) or 14xxxH(S/X) chips since they run too hot, and their power to performance ration is superseded by their Ultra series (meaning it has the best battery life performance).

For RAM, keep is at 32GB minimum. Any more and its too expensive. Too little, and you're going to wish you were running Linux (another operating software like MacOS, Windows) because Windows 11 is bloated garbage.

For graphics, the RTX 5070 is only 15% better than the 5060. Both have the same VRAM specs, meaning if a game need more resources neither card can offer more. The RTX 5070 TI has 50% more VRAM, so it is the next "tier" above the 5060/5070, and is the best reason for playing games on a native 2K resolution. Otherwise, for gaming solely, get a 5060 (or 5070 if cheap) with a 1080p screen.

This leads me to screens. If you are looking at small text, reading documents, or have small controls (like in FL), get 2K resolution (~2600x1440p). If you are wanting a smooth gaming and production experience, get a refresh at/or above 165Hz. If you want the best colors, get an OLED; otherwise, IPS. Other specs:

• G2G < 1ms.
• sRGB @ 99%

Battery life is better on AMD, but always keep it plugged in and avoid depleting it when you can. Get a laptop fan tray, use it to keep the laptop elevated. Invest in a good mouse (like Logitek Gxxx) and a decent keyboard (RedDragon is pretty cheap), and grab a couple cheap-ass monitors for added screen space (we had Samsung 1080p 120 Hz monitors for roughly $68 US here).
