From my experience neither will be good for larger datasets using SPM and CONN
Unfortunately SPM mostly runs as single thread so the processor performance and clock really matters.
Additionality CONN needs quite good amount of RAM when running multiple subject analysis.
For Trackvis you really need external graphic card.
For neuroimaging I would recomend fully customizable laptops.
Those laptops can be equipped even with 128GB RAM 5xSSDs and Two Desktop Graphic Cards and Desktop Processor up to 5Ghz Intel i9 9900k
There are several manufacturers in Canada US and Europe so you can choose the configuration which will suit your needs without sacrificing anything.

Hi, I want a laptop to be able to do my
NeuroImaging Analyses, I have acess to a work desktop computer if I
need to do more powerfull analyses but would still like to be able
tu run Group analyses with SPM (fMRI, VBM, resting state with Conn
toolbox) as well as basic tractography with diffusion toolkit and
tract reconstructions with Trackvis for example.
I see 2 laptop that I like one has 8GB RAM but with Nvidia MX150 (2GB)
the other one has 16Gb RAM but intergrated Intel UHD Graphics 620
What is more imprtant,more RAM or the beter Graphics Card?
(they both have a i7 procesor 8th Gen, 512 SSD)
Or neither is good and I really need both (16GB RAM with a dedicated Nvidia?
Thank you
