Laptop upgrade?

[aisle9]

My old 2019 HP Envy with an i7-8765U (I think, definitely a Coffee Lake i7-U) and a 10W MX 250 finally took a dump on me, and since I happen to be visiting near a MC, I’m looking at this guy:

Edit: if the link doesn’t work, the model number for Google is 83DR000TUS

 

i haven’t kept up with laptop tech, but am curious: what kind of performance gain is that, and is it a good deal? Worth the added $100 to go 16” Ryzen 7? I  IPS, by the way.

Can you link me to the Ryzen 7 variant?

 

Anyway, the Ryzen 5 alone is looking at over 100% increase in performance compared to your current CPU. On the GPU side comparing FP32 performance with the iGPU you are looking at over 500% increase in performance.
