Guess at Ryzen 6000 based laptop pricing (low end)

[dubcat]

How much do you guys think the lower end Ryzen 6000 laptops with 8gb ram are likely to cost? I'm trying to decide if I just buy a Ryzen 5 or i5 based system now (kids birthdays are this week!) or make the kids wait. If it's going to be too expensive there is no point in waiting.

Given the fact that you can still wait 3-6 weeks for a standard-ish Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 5xxx series machine I wouldn’t hold out much hope of seeing a Ryzen 6xxx series laptop at a sensible price anytime soon.

Literally nothing is getting cheaper so probably the same or more than laptops now, spec for spec.

At a guess id say a Lenovo Ideapad with Ryzen 5 6600u 8gb ram and 256gb drive will be £550 to £600.

Did you mean Ryzen 6? If so this is exactly what I'm worried about. Right in my sweet spot price-wise but a whole new generation.

So you'd say just go for a Ryzen 5 or equivalent Intel chip then? I think you make a very fair point.
