Dont be fooled by the processor name, the Ryzen 5 7520U is Mendocino, its only 4 cores and based on the very outdated Zen 2 architecture (2019) and has a pathetic 2 CU's (GPU cores). Performance is quite poor and really should be in $250 laptops at most. You'd be better off getting an i5-1235U for considerably more performance or i3-1215U for more performance while still being cheaper.

AMD purposely changed their naming scheme recently to get away with selling these deceptively bad mobile CPUs.
Lack of usb power is only issue / roadblock

It's true that it's old but that does not necessarily mean that the CPU is bad - it's plenty for most people. This CPU is just a rebranded Ryzen 3 5300U. It's WAAAAAAAY ahead of a Celeron.

It's the integrated GPU that sucks hard. Do not let the RDNA2 branding fool you, it's a huge downgrade from the 5300U's Vega 6

So that's why they don't call it a "Ryzen 7" in the description.

Putting a "7" at the beginning of the model number is deceptive right away.

Totally agree that AMD pulled a fast one with this naming scheme, but a small correction: Zen 2 was introduced on laptops with the Ryzen 4000 series, which came out in the spring of 2020, not 2019.

This "Ryzen 5" actually performs worse than a Ryzen 3 from 2021.

Far more efficient, however.

Quote from Rampart :
My father in law just bought a refurbished Acer thru Acer via Ebay for $250(after discounts). Same CPU, only 8 gigs of ram, but a 512GB SSD and 1080p touchscreen. USB Type-C port supporting: (USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps), DisplayPort over USB-C, USB charging 5 V; 3 A, DC-in port 19 V; 45 W)

They even included a decent soft case for it as well. Refurbished may not be ideal for some but it does have a 2yr warranty included. Bought a similar model from them last year for my daughter and have had no issues.

Model A315-24PT-R90Z

Wish I would have bought an extended warranty for my refurb Acer via Ebay. Screen started flickering into the 3rd year. Will stick with Asus from now on, have never had an issue with their tech.
