Reviews for the Asus VivoBook S15 M533, R5 5500U

ASUS VivoBook S15 M533 review – same old with a pinch of AMD
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Although we gave last year’s device an Editor’s Choice award, we can’t do it again. This is just because the M533 version only changes the CPU inside. This results in a higher performance, but a slightly worse battery life, which explains perfectly what is wrong with the machine. It has a ton of good stuff about it, but at the same time – there are some disadvantages (although most of them are pretty minor). And if you are wondering about choosing this unit, or the Intel models, just follow your gut feeling, and bear your work process in mind.

AMD Vega 7: Integrated graphics adapter of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 7 CUs (= 448 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 1,600 MHz.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

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.
