AMD Ryzen 7 comes with Wifi 6

Which models are you considering? I would say just go with the cheaper option with the assumption that the specs is more of less the same.

Generally, I would prefer the AMD solution because it tends to be cheaper, and the integrated GPU is more powerful. Therefore if you find a situation where you want to play some game, or run some application that can make use of the iGPU, it will be helpful.

Price is about the same, $20+ diff. AMD still a better choice?

Least you could do is state the exact CPU. Intel i7 is on its 14th gen, so which one?

Intel core i7-1165G7 processor
This is not a bad processor, but depends on which AMD CPU you are comparing with. Also, I think CPU aside, there may be other considerations that may skew the value of the laptop. Something you should be mindful of.

AMD ryzen 7 5700U. Yup, like wifi. Any diff between 5 and 6?

I think both CPUs are pretty decent. The AMD chip has got more CPU cores and a pretty fast iGPU, but I think the Intel chip should be faster in single core performance (even though its only got 4 cores). The iGPU is not that bad either. But as I mentioned, Intel configs tend to be more expensive. So even though the price delta is just 20 bucks, I supposed there may be other cutbacks, i.e. slower wireless LAN as you mentioned.

depends. e.g. some programs seem to run better on amd compared to intel, and vice-versa

the generation of the cpu and the specific version also matters, not just the brand. e.g. there are a few variations even within ryzen 7 cpu models and i7 cpu models

Which one will overheat easily?
Q2) if not going to overclock and for laptop, would Intel be a better choice ?
