Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 - which one AMD or Intel?

    I'm going to buy a Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 this week. I had a Surface Laptop 3 & got a warranty refund for a fan issue which seemed fairly common. I have docking station and extra charger etc setup for the Surface so not really looking at anything else. I've read online reviews which seem good but don't fully trust them.

    Main problem is I'm not sure what one I should go for. Probably prefer 13.5" as I either use it with a screen at home or when travelling. Below the prices I can see on a site I was thinking of ordering from. Are the AMD Ryzen processors just much better value? I'd probably instinctively go for the i5 at 1199, but wondering what the difference would be in real world performance compared to the cheaper processor with same RAM? The 899 is out of stock at the moment which is making me hesitate, I probably would have ordered otherwise.

    Use would be only home office (a lot of video calls and some large ppt editing but nothing else) and general browsing, no gaming.
