Here's a great place to compare CPUs: https://www.notebookche
If you're just looking to have a laptop and use it, this probably will do everything you want. If you need to process tons of data, it won't be that bad at it.
Yes, this is a couple years old (2-3). The construction is premium, not cheap / plastic. Mid-range CPU with 32GB RAM / Windows 11 Pro.
I leveraged ChatGPT for my research, comparing this computer to anything available today in the $300-$400 range. All aspects favored this laptop by a wide margin.
If you're looking for a $300 laptop for light browsing and email, this laptop is an easy choice (in my opinion).
NOTE: This is sold by Newegg. If you buy this directly from their site, it's slightly more expensive than the eBay deal... more importantl, with eBay you get a 1 year warranty (vs 90 days direct with Newegg)

Things missing that I would prefer would be a backlit keyboard, webcam, a larger screen, a num pad (which is normally only on 15-inch or larger screens). But very nice for the price, and with the warranty through Allstate.
Every laptop deal ever posted will require a compromise, of sorts. This is a very nice deal if it fits one's needs.
This cpu seems to be ~ 23% better in multi-thread and ~4% better in single thread applications. Not sure on the graphics card end, however.
I returned it for replacement, but they are OOS(?) and issued a refund.
I just re-bought it for less money.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

FWIW, I have a Ryzen 7 8845HS which has a really really good iGPU...relatively speaking however still not a dedicated card. But it struggles with many games. For reference, it can play Far Cry 5 but at the absolute lowest settings to maintain a tolerable framerate. However in comparison the Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U is likely more anemic, but this system does have double the ram I do.
P.S. This is a slightly lower CPU (5625U vs 5650U) and less ram, however these benchmarks might give you a good idea of what this could do.
