1) Check whether the RAM is single or dual channel.  Dual channel is preferable for Ryzen.

 

2) Ryzen 7's, in many cases, perform only very slightly better than Ryzen 5's, because they are used in the same chassis's and have to either be undervolted or throttled to maintain the same thermals.  Especially if it's a light and thin laptop, the Ryzen 7's potential will likely not be met.  It may not worth paying substantially more money for a Ryzen 7.
