8gb of ram, no numeric keypad? $600 should be retail.

I keep bumping into these on sale and always tempted. Just got a MacBook m4 chip. Would this laptop be better in terms of productivity, portablability, quiet fans when using battery only?

I see some have intel. Others have and amd ryzen. Which one is better version of those processors from your experience?

Although I got the MacBook Air m4 it feels like I'm limiting my options since it can't do games due to no fans. Plus not used to the macOS.

OS preferences aside, productivity, portability, and battery performance go to the MBA over this. You decide if gaming is worth it or not, but don't expect miracles from an x50 class GPU.
Laptop CPUs are tricky. Technically Ryzen is better, but OEMs keep giving their best designs (chassis, screens, ports, etc) to Intel. Plus, most of the time you aren't going to notice much of a difference in CPU performance (amongst the same CPU class/spec) in a laptop. Thermals and power constraints will dictate performance more than anything else.

I got this last week open box for $435 in excellent condition. I am probably going to return it. Maybe gaming laptops are the same but the battery life is horrible, and it gets very hot if you try to use it on your laptop, and it is very difficult to pull the back cover off to upgrade ram and ssd (which is what is needed, ram at least)

Thank you. I appreciate input that helps me consider things I had not thought of.
