In, conclusion if you’re looking for an affordable multimedia laptop that can do gaming on the side, it’s almost perfect. But I do wish it were a little lighter. With the charging brick, the laptop weighs more than 2.5 kilos and that can be a deal-breaker for some, especially if you’re looking to carry it every day. Initially, I was skeptical of the 5500U CPU and whether it would undermine the GTX 1650’s capabilities – and in gaming, to some extent it does. But as I tested the laptop for everyday use, I came to realize that the U series processor is more than capable of browsing the web and editing documents. I think it was the right choice not to go with an “H” series processor as it’d have severally impacted the battery life. If it were an Intel machine, “P” processors would’ve probably been a suitable replacement but that too would ramp up the price.

R5 5500U: A hexa-core APU designed for use in ultra-thin, upper mid-range laptops. The Ryzen features six Zen 2 CPU cores running at 2.1 GHz to 4.0 GHz alongside the Vega 7 graphics adapter (448 unified shaders running at up to 1,800 MHz). One could be forgiven for thinking Ryzen 5 5500U is a renamed Ryzen 5 4500U - which is not the case. Ryzen 5 5500U is most similar to Ryzen 5 4600U, the most noteworthy difference between the two being the faster iGPU model of the former.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

78%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
