My laptop is old and ancient and I use my work provided one for lots of stuff - but really we do need one in the house.

Mainly for day to day stuff, but i'll also use it for some photography editing and astro photography image stacking and editing. This is the only reason I can't get away with a bog standard entry level thing.

Also don't want a desktop.

So...Ryzen 9 270, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd.

Anything wrong with it?

If it were me I think I'd go for this one.

Less ram but everything else seems a bit better to my eyes.

I'm Ok with the 14" form factor.

The one above also looks good from my understanding.... and this is why I never commit and buy anything!

Thes second one has half the memory, half the storage and a slower processor. Go for the first one if it's in budget, looks good value to me.
