Got the Aspire 5 with Tiger Lake, it's pretty great for the price.

Lol acer launches a new laptop with last years cpu, this is really going to make consumers distrust amd.

How is Ryzen 5000 mobile "last years cpu"?

Only the 5600u and 5800u are zen3, the 5300u, 5500u and 5700u are zen2.

...and announced this year.

You didn't have to prove to everyone that you're retarded.

He meant that the particular variant acer is using is based on zen 2 architecture, which was launched last year.
Not the one based on zen 3.

Yeah, they are re-badges of the 4000 series. Good catch, it is the old Zen 2 cores.

Thanks for proving you can't read.

It is the entry model though. On the one hand I don't like the rebadging, on the other hand with parts so scarce it makes no sense to waste any.

It's $550.

Compare this to the Celeron Samsung Chromebook announced last week.
