I'd like an opinion from everyone. I ordered a Star Labs StarFighter some time ago, which included a Ryzen 7000 series CPU. While still perfectly good, it's a bit on the "older" side now given what's out now.
Star Labs emailed people over the weekend to let them know that while newer Ryzen chips are unlikely to support running nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqqfu9sztgevxg2md2kkz2wtc4xykwux2r7upvzsgjvuqssqwfgcmqxtr0up (nprofile…r0up) any time soon, they're going to begin shipping laptops with Intel's latest 285H CPU. And they've given me the opportunity to amend my order and swap to one of those.
My priority is battery life and efficiency. I'm not a content creator, and so I don't really need to swap to Intel for that extra bit of performance. But I also know that generational leaps make a large difference. Should I swap from a Ryzen 7000 series CPU to Intel's latest? I'm leaning towards doing so.
