Hello there,

I'm not so fit when it comes to laptops and mobile chips and devices. My GF and I want to buy a laptop for some office work and some multimedia because I'm the hospital a lot lately. She also wants to play some Heroes of the storm.
But we are also a bit on a budged.

Is there anything capable under 500 bucks?

There's a bunch of possible options, do you know if heros of the storm needs a graphics card?

Are you willing to go second hand? and is that 500euro?

#

I was looking at the Ryzen 5000 series too

#

That's probably your best bet, good find rauko.

#

it's got Vega 7 graphics which is capable for all your e-sports games.

#

it's reasonably spec'd for the price and has a decent battery life despite being a zen 2 5000 series ryzen

#

5500u = zen2, if it had a 5600u then it would be a zen 3 laptop

But from what I learnd in the past 5 hours is that the 5600u has the same Vega 7 graphics than the 5500u, right? So it doesn't make big difference when it comes to games?

#

no different for usage where the igpu is concerned

#

but zen 3 has a better battery life over zen 2

old jungle
#

Yeah, zen 3 has a lot of benefits over zen 2, especially battery life and performance.

Does the 5625u just have a higher clock speed?

That whole mobile sector is so confusing.. 😫

old jungle
#

Yeah, it's all over the shop when it comes to knowing what you're getting

#

5600U is Zen 3

#

Thats right, It's been a hot minute since I've seen that graph

untold lark
#

had to double check and comfirm it

old jungle
#

by the looks between the specs

#

they look similar enough in synthetic bench marks

#

they're both 6core 12thread I don't think you would find much difference between the two in terms of light gaming etc.

#

but when looking at a mobile cpu for laptops with amd, the image i sent is kinda what you need to check against

untold lark

#

thats from nanoreview

#

definitely not cpubenchmark hahaha

untold lark
#

okies, as long as it's not userbenchmark and one of it's many clones

#

technical.city or cpu monkey are pretty decent for cpu comparison

old jungle
#

Ill keep them both in mind

Hmm.. I found a laptop from HP with the older 5500U with 256gb SSD and 8gb ram. It maybe not as efficient but there's a sale for 380€. Sound like a good deal, right?

It's the HP 15s-eq2152ng
I think I will go for it. What do you guys think?
