save the $200 and buy this one. You wont be disappointed! This is my 2nd HP Probook and I love it. My last Probook lasted me 10 years. I don't play games but I do stream as well as web surfing, email, downloading and saving files, etc. This laptop has many excellent features and performs well. please read my review on this product for more info.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Google "Passmark CPU List." It will enable you to compare the 2 processors. In my opinion, the AMD Ryzen 5 and the Intel 8th gen Core I5 are comparable processors, especially if you are not gaming or streaming, and with the same memory and SSD, I would save the $200 and spend it on something else! Also, be sure the Lenovo you are looking at has a built-in DVD drive and ethernet LAN port, as some of the Lenovo's don't have either one (and I recommend an ethernet port, as the wireless card failed in a laptop I had once). Plus, a built-in DVD drive is convenient, especially if you have software on CD or DVD that you want to install (drivers, legacy programs, etc.).
