Viability of either of these machines for making assets for a simple 3d game

I’m sure this gets asked fairly often so my apologies for that.

I’m looking at using one of these two machines to make a simpleish 3d game some examples of style would be like the long dark, fire watch, N64 games, psx games , puppet combo games , noby noby boy, katamari. Nothing wild and crazy.

I’m wondering if either of these would be worth using to get started, with making assets in blender.

I have an m3 mbp with the pro chip and 36gb of ram as option one

Or an eluktronics rp15 g2 windows machine with a 7840hs 8 core processor an 8gb 4070 mobile GPU and 64gb of ddr5 ram.

I appreciate any insight into folks using similar mobile setups to make their game assets or opinions if I’ll have any luck with using those. Id ideally like to not get into swap on the mbp if I could avoid it.

Thanks so much !

Both of those machines are solid for getting started, but it’s also worth asking: do you really need that much local power all the time?

For making these kinds of assets, they have both multiple times the power you would need. You will be more than fine.

In fact, you would be able to make high detail AAA assets with the second choice.
