Even my budget is same.

CPU
Intel 13, 14 both have issues. So, intel 12 or amd ryzen 5.
U / H variants :
I got inputs like U has better battery and H has better computing.
I actually played around both those laptops at office, there is no perceivable difference for typical workloads.
My office laptop is an intel 8th gen U series Lenoovo thinkpad, still snappy on win 11 and battery is 2-3hr with new battery too.
So, we are good with either of those.
Brand
Lenovo - only thinkpad is good the rest are fragile. Thinkpad is above our budget.
Dell - I had hell with those laptops.
HP - too costly and poor builds
I narrowed to ASUS and heard, this is really trusted for its consistent build quality.
Other brands like msi etc are hit or miss. If they work, its flawless else your lappy will find its new abode in their service center.
Display
A big NO for OLED, still have burn-in issues and delicate enough to break easily. Many users are repenting for its poor durability and lifetime. You may hear that its display is a visual spectacle but the real users never suggest you to go for it.
In fact narrowed to this ... open in mobile browser it shows ~52 K in bank offers
But display seems to be 45% NTSC, which means color reproduction is not good. Right now I am hunting for a 72% NTSC display.

Someone on the forum said U series processors are under-clocked processors. Isn't that true? (Sorry if that's a naive question)

U series is good for normal/regular work only with good battery backup and this fits my need. I am not planning to do any highly productive or creative work. So not going with P or H or any series beyond that.

Issues in 13th and 14th gen cpus

Many months ago, gamers began experiencing strange crashes with their 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core i9 CPUs — but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

www.theverge.com

Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen Raptor Lake CPUs: all the news and updates

Here’s the latest on Raptor Lake instability.
www.theverge.com www.theverge.com

for desktop cpus almost all affected but for laptop slight risk.

SO better to stick to 12th gen on intel
 
Is this a concern from a gamer's standpoint alone or as a whole?
