Note, the cpu is not zen 3+.
This 7530u is just zen 3 because it's just a rebranded 5625u from 2022 with vega 7 graphics.

Plenty of users will gripe about the 8GB of RAM... but this price point and configuration would allow users with the immediate need an easy upgrade (this laptop has two SO-DIMM slots, one of which is available), while those users running no more than a few browser tabs and/or Word will find 8GB sufficient for now.
Another nice bonus is the fact that this manages to be Zen 3 based.
Good luck!

However, another typical compromise implemented in this configuration is the Realtek RTL8821CE 1x1 wireless adapter. This limits your throughput to a maximum 433Mbps via Wi-Fi. Fortunately the documentation suggests that this platform supports an adapter with a 2x2 configuration using the Realtek RTL8852BE. Hopefully the internal connections might be available for those interested in upgrading this at some point(?). This problem may not be meaningful for a large group of users, but it is worth mentioning given the increasing availability of gigabit+ internet speeds
Good luck!

Hard pass for me.
For $308.69 this is kinda a crazy deal.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not getting this. I'm still looking for a nice laptop with USB C charging.

Wow, yea that would make this a even more killer deal if it works.

This is basically a faster 5600U. So it runs at 4.5Ghz vs 4.2 and the GPU runs at 2Ghz vs 1.8. But has the same memory controller, 3200Mhz DDR4, and on 7nm Node.
So that is why I listed it as such. If someone is ok with a 5600u this will just be a little faster. If they want a true updated chip then the 7X40 amd chips are Zen4. But have not seen any of them at the $400 or lower range like the 7x30 Zen3 chips.

USB-C port only supports data, no video out.
HDMI port is limited to 1080p.
Ouch.
