AMD and Intel have been competing in the mobile processor market for quite a while now. While Intel has had the historic lead for performance and manufacturer support, AMD has now emerged with the lead than its Zen 2 4000-based chips. AMD chips offer almost twice the cores than Intel counterparts while being more efficient due to the 7nm manufacturing process. Sadly, few laptop manufactures have adopted AMD, mainly due to their recent foray into the market, so getting a budget AMD laptop easily seems to be a long shot. However, if you're able to find a Ryzen 3 4300U laptop for sale, we would absolutely recommend that you go with it as it even outperforms a 10th Gen Intel i7 processor in CPU performance. However, the 3000-series AMD Ryzen processors are not that powerful, and it's better to go with a 10th Gen Intel i3 instead.
