I just don't feel this is the best value, if you are looking for speed, I would say this is on par with the Ryzen 7 8845HS but the Ryzen uses 2/3 of the power that intel uses and intel runs hotter and I have seen some better prices with the Ryzen.
So as a recap... for less money, you get a product that performs identical and uses much less electricity, runs cooler and has a better battery life.
I ended up getting the Lenovo Ideapad 5, 8845HS 16GB 1TB for $454 on Fleabay (Certified Refurbished). It came in mint condition with just windows installed, no bloatware at all (that was really nice).
You got a OLED screen with a Ultra 5 125H. IMHO, AMD's year old cpu... 8845HS is faster in almost every way but specifically on games and graphics. The Ultra 5 125H is more efficient, but the hit to speed is too great IMHO when you compare it to the 8845HS.
From Notebookcheck... Average Benchmarks Intel Core i7-13700H → 100% n=53
