Opinion and specs

Our verdict

Mid-range

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U is a mid-range processor. It is a low-power chip (28 W): the kind that goes into thin, quiet laptops with long battery life. It came out in 2024.

It is currently fitted in 5 laptops from €1395, at an average price of €2886.

Above €2799 there are clearly better options: for that money the Apple M5 Pro 15 Core is 106% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
