From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That sadly doesnt mean anything. That would range from 3050 to 3090 so its meaningless.
According to userbenchmarks, the more powerful desktop version of the RX 5500 is still weaker than a Nvidia 3050. https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3050-vs-AMD-RX-5500/4127vs4059
So its pretty weak, comparable to a Nvidia 1060 roughly. Which is still fine for 2D games and most 3D games at low settings.
I'm not really sure, but wasn't userbenchmark biased in favor of nvidia gpu?
In any case, I agree that an rx5500 is on the weaker side, so don't expect much, but it shouldn't be a lot worse than an rtx3050 (i'm not an expert tho)
Yeah there was something there but its still in the right league at least. It might change the ranking slightly but it wont change that its at the low end.
For CPUs it's pretty bad. It says the Intel i3-9100f (4 core, 4 thread 3.6GHz) is just as good as the AMD Ryzen 7 3700x (8 core, 16 thread 3.6GHz) even though the actual difference is massive.
Yup, no doubts there.
Anyway, OP, if I were you I'd buy that laptop (not for gaming tho, or at least not if you're looking for something more than "good enough")
