If you're a performance junkie the Ryzen 4000 laptops are much faster, but this is still good for day to day tasks and some very light gaming.
Probably makes a good laptop for the kids and grandma too

I agree, I have both the Thinkpad E495 (Ryzen 5 3500U) and Thinkpad Gen 2 (Ryzen 5 4500U), both 16GB RAM for dual channel. The Gen 2 is snappier, but for general task the older 3500U is still very competitive. It's still a 4C 8T laptop and a couple years ago that would have cost a lot.
That's not very comparable at all. It's a very slow Celeron, this is much much faster Ryzen. I wouldn't buy grandma a Celeron, she'd hate me.
are you serious thats a 2c/2t celery
And you still have to provide your own sultanas and peanut butter for ants on a log.
I thought Intel had moved on to Rhubarb architecture by now?
hi, quick question, is the memory soldiered on (non upgradable)? As I think 8Gb is just not enough for a little heavier use than just surfing the web.
Think Chrome is quite resource hungry.

Looks like 4GB soldered and a 4GB upgrade-able stick. So you could upgrade if you wanted to, but only 8GB would run dual channel
How does this compare to the Dell Inspiron 14 3493
Need it for general office stuff, zoom, work VPN use. Nothing else really.
Pretty similar
i wouldnt say the 3 series are slow, just the Ryzen 4000 are that much faster in single gen
