Things to consider before buying an AMD Ryzen 5 laptop
Models: Ryzen 5 comes in various models based on their generation and launch year (4000, 5000, 7000 etc). Newer series generally offer better performance and efficiency. Aim for at least a 5000 series for current tasks.
Suffix: The letter at the end indicates power optimization. ‘HX’ marks the best that AMD has to offer, while ‘HS’ indicates high performance. Then there is the ‘U’ series that marks the power-efficient processors that are aimed at thin and light laptops. The ‘C’ series is for Chromebooks while the ‘e’ offers extremely low TDP.
RAM and storage: Consider 8GB the minimum for basic tasks, but 16GB is recommended for multitasking and future-proofing. As for as storage is concerned, opt for a solid-state drive (SSD) for significantly faster boot times and loading screens. 256GB might be OK, but 512GB is something you should look at.
Display Resolution: Full HD (1920×1080) is standard, but a higher resolution like QHD (2560×1440) provides sharper visuals. Consider your intended use.
