May be OK if you need a cheap laptop ASAP and can't wait for BF Deals, which may start appearing in a few weeks.
128GB SSD is a tad small....I prefer 256GB as a minimum. Sure it can be upgraded, but doing so takes quite a bit of tech-savvy since an OS reinstall may be required.
Ryzen 3000 series is a bit older....The 4000 and now 5000 are out.
I would expect to see a 4xxxx at this price when the sales hit.

Yeah this is Zen 1 not even Zen+, on 14nm and a dual core. VERY old CPU that was refreshed, performance is abysmal.
More than strong enough to handle whatever non-AAA gaming software you throw at it lol...
Rofl. This is how AMD trick ppl into thinking it's a good processor because it's only a year old. This is basically a slower version of 3300u which came out end of 2018.

Its a refresh which means its essentially an old CPU rebadged to seem modern to fools like you. This chip originally came out in January 2018, and AMD just slapped a new paint of coat on it.
"The specifications are similar to the older Ryzen 3 3200U with the lower max. operating temperature (95 °C versus 105 °C) being the only difference between the two."
"In comparison to the faster Ryzen 3000 CPUs, the 3250U is not using the newer Zen+ microarchitecture and is still manufactured in 14nm. Compared to the old Ryzen 3 2200U, the 3200U therefore only offers a slightly higher clock speed."
2200U which is basically the same was announced in January 2018....
Same specs besides slightly different frequency and max temp between all 3 with almost identical performance, wonder why... Because they are the same chip.
Yes I wish the RYZEN 3 bashers would go away. Or post an alternate that has 4 or 5000. They are fast enough. I have two Ryzen 3's and both are plenty fast but one has this SATA3 and thus updates and starting a program is slower than necessary. That is actually a bigger problem.

No thanks. NVME only. NVME is six times faster.
