Help me pick a good laptop

Hello! I need help with picking a good laptop that would run sims 4 well, since my current laptop is too old and can reach only 5-20fps, even at low/medium graphics. 

I currently have all the packs, 6gb of cc and 90% of that is CAS (without high poly alpha hairs and such), and I don't have any cc objects apart from some clutter. I use only a few essential script mods (ui cheats, pose player) and not the ones that alter the gameplay. I am planning on keeping it that way with the new laptop as well, since I don't like heavy mods anyway. 

Also I'm currently not interested in the newest games, I'd play sims 4 only, use internet and some office programs if needed for college. 

When it comes to graphics, I don't need everything to be ultra, I am willing to lower some settings (maybe even turn off edge smoothing) but keep the rest on high at least (sims and lighting quality matter to me). 

I've found two new laptops online but I'm not sure whether they're good enough. They are:

1. HP Victus 15-fb1006nm

- Ryzen 5 7535HS 

- RTX 2050

- 8gb ram

- 512gb SSD

 

2. Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9I

- Intel Core i5 12450HX

- Intel Arc A530M

- 16gb ram

- 512gb SSD

If I end up getting the Victus one, will an RTX 2050 be a problem? I've tried looking everywhere for an RTX 3050 at least, but it's already above my budget. RTX 2050 is obviously better than any integrated graphics, but could it at least give me the 60 fps I want? Either that, or maybe a GTX 1650? Also, I'd like to upgrade to 16gb ram but I've never done it before so I'm a bit worried about voiding the warranty.
