AMD Ryzen 7 5700U
Opinion and specs

Our verdict

Mid-range

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700U is a mid-range processor. It is a low-power chip (10 W): the kind that goes into thin, quiet laptops with long battery life. It came out in 2021.

It is currently fitted in 7 laptops from $500, at an average price of $792.

Above $587 there are clearly better options: for that money the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V is 16% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
