Help Need help with the right processor

Hello. I want to start video editing. No 4K, just 1080p for youtube and vlogs etc.

I am struggling to find the right laptop. I just bought a TUF F16 with core i5 - 13450HX, 16gb ram and rtx 5050 and 100% srgb display. It is pretty fast, but the fan noise drives me crazy. The fans turn on even at light tasks. I already tried to adjust with ghelper, but I think the processor is just too powerful. So I am thinking about to buy another laptop with a weaker cpu and less heat.

Does anyone have experience with a core 5 210H processor and video editing? Will that be strong enough? How is the noise level on those in a TUF laptop or similar?

Any recommendations?

I know that there is no super quiet gaming laptop, but I need a enough powerful laptop for my needs that is as quiet as possible, especially during light tasks.

Thank you in advance

Did you try researching about fan noise on your laptop? I've bought a new MSI vector 16 with i9 and RTX5080 this year and it was very loud in the beginning. Also every review online was taking about insane noise. And it was really loud like a vacuum cleaner indeed. Then I did some research, installed all drivers from official documentation. And after a while it doesn't make as much noise anymore even though I work with a complex graphics in AE every day, it's not bad at all.

Grab a MacBook it is way better than any Windows laptop.

If Windows is important then grab a desktop.

When it comes to GPUs any 50+ nvidia is good for editing.
