Looking to buy a laptop and trying to see what your thoughts are for this one. performance vs. battery efficiency vs. price
I kind of want it as an all rounder laptop, I like trying out new things and I’ll probably use it for digital art/graphics mostly. Is this worth the price?
(+ if anyone has any laptop suggestions with similar specs that would really help too)
Just so you know, the 7730U is just a rebranded Zen 3 CPU. Its almost identical to the older 5825U. On that note, you can get a refurbished ProBook 445 G9 from HP for $500 with the 5825U. The SSD is small, but easy to upgrade. But the display is also worse than the one you listed, which probably matters to you as a digital artist…but hey maybe you use an external monitor anyways…

I just thought I would point that out.
It’s not almost identical, it is the 5825U. Which was the 5800U. Literally it’s the AMD CPU with the worst case of identity crisis they’ve ever released. :)
