So overall, for my laptop upgrade, I am leaning towards getting an Intel i7 + Nvidia GPU. The main reason is based on the laptop and the battery capacity, I have seem Intel laptops lasting up to 8 hours vs AMD lasting up to 10-11 hours. Considering the performance + PCI-E 4.0 SSD + 16 GPU lanes and Thunderbolt, the Intel ones seem to have a lot of advantages over AMD and realistically, I'll be near a plug most of the time. So while battery matters to me, I think Intel laptops gives too many advantages this generation.

And for the love of god, don't forget to UNPLUG the battery!. Last thing you want is to constantly overcharge the battery and short out it's lifespan. Trust me I've been there twice before. 

Lol that's true. Although most laptops these days come with software that can limit your battery charging capacity. For my Dell XPS 17 that I got last year around August, I have been using Dell Power Manager to limit it to 80% and the wear level has been excellent even though it has mostly been plugged in thanks to covid.
