Save yourself some money by going with a refreshed Raptor Lake model instead of Meteor Lake or Zen 4. The IdeaPad Slim 5 16 is almost as basic as it gets but in a reliable and focused sort of way.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Core-7-150U-performance-debut-Lenovo-IdeaPad-Slim-5-16IRU9-laptop-review.865481.0.html
This is a joke
$800 for an Intel Core 7 150U + Intel Iris Graphics with which it is impossible to play AAA games and render 3D, CAD, CAM and only 16GB of RAM this computer in a year is dead and devalued by half if $400. Seriously, no one in their right mind would buy this laptop with such specs.
Surprisingly the 150U (which is still Raptor Lake) seems to be slightly better on average than the 155U (Meteor Lake)... be it in CPU, iGPU, energy consumption. Not by much, but still...

But at the same time, real performance in PL1 mode is simply shameful after 4 years compared to Zen2...
