Processor is not equal to processor. Most of the specifications and tests are created in terms of sales, not informational - even in benchmark websites.

Often a processor, e.g. an i7, is not equal to another i7 - from the same generation. It all depends on what you actually have in your laptop’s motherboard. Apparently, many people replace the processors in laptops with the full-fledged …

For a desktop computer, for example, an i5 will have 4 cores and 8 threads. In a laptop, only 2 cores and 4 threads. Personally, before, I always chose Intel processors. I have only had AMD for several years. I had the last laptop with a Sony Viao with an i3. It was very efficient, it was great for the size and i3 … but it couldn’t compare to the performance of a desktop computer.

I played Dead Island on it - SonyViao from Intel i3 with a dedicated AMD graphics card, connecting it to a 46 ”TV with an HDMI cable … he got warm, but he did it :slightly_smiling_face:

It is also worth considering why so many damaged laptops can be purchased at auction sites

This is the last entry - edition:

I mention cooling and performance, because if you want to focus on what’s important to you, you need to have normal and trouble-free hardware. A wrongly chosen and purchased computer will make you frustrated, frustrated and often looking for other causes. Often you will be confused - about the causes of the problems, instead of focusing on what is important, which is the purpose for which the equipment was purchased … the rest is a waste of time and energy.

Look at used equipment… among second-hand laptops, many are broken. They are smaller or bigger damages… they are damages where electronics, components, semiconductors have already partially degraded… but for their owners it is not a problem. Sometimes, seeing the initial symptoms, they decide to get rid of the computer as soon as possible. You know, and if not, just read the comments … the rest is a lottery. The exception is new, bought in a normal store.
