Bought this a few weeks ago and am quite happy with it for the price. Best specs I've found lately for a ~$400-$450 NEW laptop (versus refurb if that matters to you). I'm very happy with it so far. I compared it head to head with the lower powered Acer Aspire 3 ($266 but only has the Ryzen 5, 16GB, 512SSD) that was available as a refurb on eBay, and decided to keep this and return the Acer. And yeah, I posted this a couple weeks ago and am posting it again as the price went back up to $799.99, then just came back down - I like it enough to keep highlighting it.

The processor difference is a quite a bit leap.
5700u is a Zen 2/GCN 5 processor with a full fat then generation GPU. AMD has no exact equivalent in the 7000 series as the Zen 2 version 7320u has a 4 cores with a heavily gimped GPU.
Personally think the $420 on sale Vivobook 16x with Zen 3 - 5800HS is a better laptop at this price.

Goes on sale twice a month recently. Price dropping every month it seems. Probably will be $420 or $400 in a week or two max.
