Good evening dear good questioning community,
I'm currently looking for a laptop for my studies. For this I have taken a budget of 550Euro. The laptop should be suitable for working with Word, PowerPoint etc. It should also be possible to play one or the other game (preferably CsGo) on the laptop.
I picked out:

https://www.otto.de/...=637258847
Which of these laptops best suits my needs?
If one of these notebooks has an AMD Ryzen 3-2300u / 3300u or Ryzen 5-2500u / 3500u and 2 × 4 GB DDR4, or 2 × 8 GB DDR4, then it should also be used for a game such as a game. CS: GO enough.
The mentioned processors include a Radeon Vega 6 (Ryzen 3), or Vega 8 (Ryzen 5) graphics unit.
It is strongly recommended to equip it with two memory modules, because graphics and CPU cores must share access to the memory interface.
I do not recommend Ryzen 3 - 2200u / 3200u to you because these two processors have only a weak, integrated Vega 3 graphics solution and therefore would be a bit too weak for CS: GO.
Thanks for the detailed answer.
All these laptops have either an i5 8250u with an MX130 or MX150 OR a Ryzen 3500u.
Is it worth the extra cost of a laptop with Ryzen 3500u (399Euro) in this case to a laptop with i5 8250u MX130 / MX150 (550Euro)?
A notebook with Ryzen APU like the Ryzen 5 3500U or 2500U is the best choice in your case.
In my opinion, the MX 130/150 touch / ultrabook graphics cards are not worthwhile, since the MX 150, for example, is just 39% faster than the integrated graphics unit of the Ryzen APU. But then you pay a very high surcharge and also has up to 25W higher power consumption. So on battery power definitely not really useful.
The selection of notebooks with a Ryzen 5 APU is now also very large, so there's always a suitable notebook to find.
Thank you very much. That answers my question perfectly.
Then for CS: GO take a model with Geforce MX 150, if you want to play in maximum details @ 1080p - resolution, and at the same time want high FPS. In this game, the Geforce MX 150 manages at 1080p @ max. Details about twice as high FPS as an integrated Vega 8 iGPU.

Jain, if you got the book mainly for assignments of your studies, games would be only minor matter and at the same time would be similarly undemanding, or even less demanding compared to the hardware like CS: GO.
Instead of maximum graphics performance, I would then prefer (optionally) an optional additional budget, e.g. Invest in a larger SSD with a larger battery and other features (if appropriate for your university purposes).
Here you have two links to gaming benchmarks each with the AMD Vega 8 - iGPU and the Geforce MX 150. (you'll find the game benchmarks below)
No problem.
