Can you link these laptops? Spec wise all but number one are good enough but there may be other things you want to look out for with these cheap laptops.

What is the main purpose of this laptop? Since all have some major lacking points so it's really going to come down to what you want to do.

Thanks for reply, i want to video and photo editing(no more than 1080p, not hard montage), play some gamea like Battlefield with 30 fps on low settings and SURE making music(serum, massive, nexux, sylenth vst...), music will be like 10-24 tracks, like 4 leads, 3 piano, 2 ukulele... if you understand me. For more inf. I have whatssapp/viber.

What battlefield?

The main issue is that each laptop has a piece that will allow you to do these things but none has them all. The best thing I can recommend is save up a bit more to get a better laptop as none will do all the things you want.

If you really really really need the laptop now the i3 one will do most of the things you want but it will still be lackluster and the 4gb of ram is really really low.

Yeah, i think pentium 4415u is my choise, because pentium 4415u better than i3 6006 or i3 7020u.

The pentium is only better than the 6006 and nu that much however all in all it will probably be the best balanced of the bunch as long as the pentium isn't power limited.

What about ryzen 3 2200u?

The problem with the ryzen is that the cpu and gpu on it's own are quite good but they have to share power so if something asks more cpu power the gpu has to slow down and the same the other way around which causes performance issues. That's the only reason I'm not recommending it.

But FL Studio 20 use only cpu, i dont play games when i produce music. But i think most of DAWs optimized only for Intel CPUs

Overall I would get the pentium system and as you said FL studio 20 does run a bit better on intel compared to amd atm.
