How is this CPU better than a "non-PRO" 4700U or 4800U?

4700u is 8core 8 thread. This is 8/16. 4800u will be slightly faster but lack some of the It management features (I think). Pro is really for device management/large deployments for corporations

Solid laptop, got it when it was on sale few weeks back.

In terms of CPU power, 4750U and 4800U are comparable as they offer the same number of cores and threads. The 4750 is clocked slightly lower than the 4800U (1.7 vs 1.8GHz base, and 4.1 vs 4.2 1 core boost, 3.1 vs 3.2 all core boost).

The 4800U beats the 4750U when it comes to graphics, as it has Vega 8 graphics vs. the Vega 7 in the 4750U. Vega 8 is clocked about 10% faster (1.75 vs 1.6GHz) and has more shader and execution units, so you could see up to 20% faster graphics performance.

Unless you need corporate level security features (which most of us won't), I'd go for the 4800U over the 4750U....BUT, and a huge but is that the 4800U is almost impossible to find, at least in the US, so the 4750U is your best bet for now.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Intel's Tiger Lake low voltage CPUs (successor to 1065G7 etc.) are right around the corner, and based on leaked benchmarks, they offer significant jumps in instructions per clock performance over AMD (so AMD has to be clocked higher to match performance), and are not too far behind multi core. Also, Tiger Lake offers a big jump in graphics performance. So we may finally see some real competition to AMD's Renoir low voltage laptops soon. This is only for the 15W low voltage processors though. AMD will continue to trounce Intel when it comes to 45W parts (4800H vs 10750/10850).

Which was how much

Quote from Christianp212 : Which was how much

50% off with 10% cash back, really a great deal. When I saw it, the coupon code was dead

50% off the $1k listed? Wow.

As others has explained the difference, do note that there's no 4800u laptops you can buy in US right now, I believe the 4750u is the best CPU you can get on a lightweight laptop. There are 4800H/4800HS but they are for game laptop and will be in a much higher price range.

128gb is skimpy. Its AMD anyway, so...

If I'm spending >$1000 on a laptop, I would expect 512GB of storage...128GB is ridiculous. For business use I could maybe see 256. 128 is just not enough.

This or the dell xps 13 9300?

Recently notebookcheck has done a review of ThinkPad T14s with the same CPU and adding SMT or Simultaneous multithreading has improved the performance by a huge margin in multithreaded workloads. They were surprised to see that the performance is not in U series level but within 10 to 20% margin of i7-10875H, a 45W tdp processor which can pull over 90W during load, while 4750U was pullingg just over 40Wvin all core loads.

The problem is that in USA, you cannot just got 4800U or any of the normal Ryzen 4000U series processor with SMT enabled, like 4600u, and the only way to get one is to go for these Ryzen Pro series. Thankfully they are not much costlier than their non-pro variants.
