Opinion and specs

Our verdict

Basic

The MediaTek Kompanio 520 is a basic processor. It is a low-power chip: the kind that goes into thin, quiet laptops with long battery life. It came out in 2022.

It is currently fitted in 8 laptops from $237, at an average price of $344.

Above $249 there are clearly better options: for that money the Intel Core i3-1005G1 is 30% faster. That is the sensible ceiling.
