My wife is still using her ryzen 5 3500u laptop (with 16gb ram) which is maybe 20% slower. It performs fine in everyday tasks.

Aside from those issues, it's a decent non-gaming laptop. The screen is doable, not great. Surfing is fast in Edge. I have two monitors hooked up without a docking station.
The main attractions are the 16GB RAM (though not upgradeable
Build quality doesn't seem flimsy.

AMD recently changed their mobile naming to deceive consumers. The Ryzen 7520u is Mendocino, AKA Zen 2, a CPU architecture that launched in 2019. This has only 4 cores of an old crappy architecture. The iGPU only has 2 CU's of RDNA2, making it useless for anything but basic browsing.
For those that dont understand the technical aspects, this is basically an e-waste laptop for anything but basic web browsing and cloud applications. Spend $100 more and youll get a laptop that is significantly better and will last for years.

The bottom line is the underlying "architecture" doesn't matter squat. What matters is [relative] performance, and price. Performance doesn't care about architecture, it cares about results. The CPU performs on par with it's "current gen" architecture peers that are vying for this price point. Full stop.
It is *not* the same chip from 3 years ago; portions of the arch of an older chip were re-used, but updated to fit on a new package, integrated with a different GPU, and manufactured with a smaller transistor size. This allowed them to make changes to the thermal profile and clock speeds.
It's not rocket science that a higher end design from 2-3 years ago will compete with budget designs of today. Why would you feel any better if the same performance was harnessed from a different architecture? Who tf cares? It's a <$300 laptop, get over it.
One thing though. Most times it is fast and responsive. But sometimes it gets slow, to a point that it takes a second or two to react. That happens both when on battery and plugged in. Checked the CPU, ram, and disk usage and none are high. So I don't know what is causing it. My only guess is drivers. But would love to know if others face the same issue and were able to fix it.

Example: Is this vivobook worth the extra over this one? Im using tinkercad and other basic internet stuff.
