I am typing this with an HP with this exact Ryzen 3 processor with the same 8GB RAM. The 3250U would never be mistaken for a high-end processor, but for most day-to-day tasks like browsing, using MS Office, watching streaming videos, etc., it does just fine so long as, just like the OP ASUS and my HP, it has a sufficient amount of RAM and a decent SSD.

I have 16 tabs open on my Chrome right now as I write this, and this Ryzen 3 CPU does not feel bogged down at all.

Now the question is, is it better than the Walmart gateway refurb? Probably not.
It's way better.

- Double ram
- Double storage
- Faster storage (NVME vs eMMC)
- A reputable brand
- Backlit keyboard

All that for $50 more? Way better.

Just my 2c, but this is a refurb.
Refurb with 2 year warranty.

Better than new with 1 year shady warranty through ChinaWay… I mean GateWay.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you meant there was something more than twice as good as this deal for $50 more

I can't bear to use a TN screen anymore, but if you threw Linux Mint on this it would make a fairly nice, fast, lightweight machine, providing it came without defects.

Can this be used to stream 4k content to monitor or TV?
largely depends on your home Internet speed

The images on Walmart website shows fingerprint scanner on the touchpad. They seem to be the same model?

I daily drive this thing why? cause I'm cheap. ran into all sorts of issues with the installation of windows-- dropped a fresh install of linux mint on and it runs like a dream.

Plays minecraft well enough-- played some other games on it. logged a ton of POE on low. Build quality is decent for sure. Ran slow and booted slow with windows. for 250 this is a snag if your requirements aren't too high

Absolutely. The Gateway laptops sold by WalMart are garbage. I know this because I bought one! 15.6". Never again. Bad keyboard, low quality screen, dim screen, terrible audio, way too heavy and battery life only about 3-4hr on a full charge. Flimsy as hell and feels like it will snap apart if you are silly enough to carry it while the lid is open. Skip the Gateway!

can you do a test for readers like me for streaming service like Netflix 4K movie or Youtube 1080P ? Would it stream smoothly or lag?

This is way better than the $199 gateway with same processor but lower everything else.

Just so that you know, the OP's ASUS cannot handle 4k because its screen resolution doesn't get to the 4k (UHD) region.

I don't have the 4k service with my Netflix account, so I cannot test that. Even if I did, my HP with Ryzen 3 does not have the 4k resolution. Sorry. However, with the video streaming, it is your internet bandwidth that matters more than anything else. My understanding is that practically any recent generation CPU can handle Netflix 4k so long as you have the sufficient bandwidth and the screen/monitor that can handle the resolution.

On my HP with Ryzen 3 3250U, I have not had any problem with YouTube. Nor have any of my Zoom meetings experienced issues, despite the fact that I am on a relatively slow internet connection (I am on the road right now).
