looking for a budget college kid laptop.
I am targeting the AMD Ryzen 5 , have always been an intel consumer but lately reading says ryzen is better value. I notice there the good R5 is the 5600 but quite expensive, I have shortlisted to the 5500U. Honestly i have no idea , just based on laptop price and compare benchmark. Any comments on the 5500u.. or should i consider others. |
