My brother wants to buy a laptop for his office work. He requires it for his mostly simulation and designing work using ANSYS, AutoCAD etc.

I was looking through some options and noticed Ryzen processor laptops are comparatively cheaper than Intel processors. Are Ryzen processors good performance wise?

Also is Asus good in after sales service?

Can't comment with Asus ASS(after sales service), but ryzen is miles ahead especially when your tasks involve using more cores on cpu. And since your bro would primarily be using for graphics and designing, Ryzen is your best bet.
Go for a 5000 series Ryzen cpu rather than 3000, it's old. Go for one which has upgradable Ram or get a higher specs ram as you are using AutoCad.
Asus won't be giving you option to upgrade ram at a later stage so you will have to buy a 16gb version.
I was looking for lenovo laptops for my aunt..they were good. Do look for them on their website.

^Actually AutoCAD is still primarily single core unless on some very specific 3D renderings so Intel will still be better

I'd get this

And upgrade RAM to 16GB if possible

I was assuming he would also be using some other graphics software apart from AutoCAD which use more cores. But then yes, if it's strictly limited to single core softwares then Intel would be your best bet.
Haven't Zen3 caught up significantly with Intel for single core performance? I did read somewhere about this.

Not sure about ryzen 5000 availability, I think Acer had updated the Nitro series but 11th gen ain't far behind or a bad buy either. Just wanted to clarify potential buyers specifically looking for single core performance, that Intel is no longer the one with higher single core performance.

Business model....
Expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.
I still despise Intel for selling me a U series proccy on a laptop which costs me 70k in 2016.
Also Intel butters vendors with dollars for selling their processors. Helps to ensure monopoly in the domain.

I saw few performance review videos on youtube. It seems ryzen processors beat intel in performance dept. Then why are laptops with ryzen cpu are comparatively cheaper?

Because most ryzen laptops available have older Ryzen 3000 CPUs which are slower than Intel CPU's. It can get quite complicated for a casual buyer. For example, intel 10th gen had both- comet lake and ice lake SKU's where ice lake was significantly better than comet lake. Even with the latest Ryzen 5000 series processors, there are a few 5000 series SKU's which are actually a rebrand of Ryzen 4000 CPU's with updated firmware. Good luck lol

If you are looking for Intel ones.. , if you can extend budget get LG Gram. It's 8k expensive but still a good laptop. My friend uses it and you can practically abuse the laptop with no damage.
