This is 85k & will easily suffice. Ryzen has the best power efficiency, so Intel is out in that regards. 5800H is just 10% inferior to 6800H, so still great. An i7 12700H will outperform both, but the extra 20-25% multi-core performance is usually not needed + easily costs another 20k at least.

RX 6600M performs similar to RTX 3060 but has more VRAM as an advantage.

An i7 12700H + 3070Ti at 150k on a good laptop like Omen or Legion or F15 (2022) would have been an upgrade (like 25-30% better CPU & GPU as well), but sadly you don't get it at 150k.

This gets close but decide if its worth paying the 70% extra money for 25% better CPU & maybe like 15-20% better GPU. Also, you will sacrifice battery life:

Check Jarrod Tech for reviews.

What kind of coding ? What kind of developer he is ?

What about battery backup, weight, screen color quality like 100% sRGB ? Will he work on a second monitor as well ?

That Omen has 100% sRGB display as well, so OP is covered in that regard as well. Not sure how long it will be for 85k or even 90k, damn good value.
