I have a HP ENVY x360 15-ee0002na. I like it a lot. Battery is ok, screen even is ok and it has 16gbof ram

Trying to find a Ryzen 4xxx with 16gb of ram in the UK is quite hard! Plenty of Intel's though, it's almost like Intel flooded the market or no one wants Intel

No, it's the opposite, it's not a flood of intel device, it's a shortage of AMD devices.

AMD had to prebook fab capacity at TSMC years in advance and didn't expect the shortages caused by the pandemic made worse by the WFH demand while Intel can make as many chips as it wants to fulfill market demand since it owns the fabs.

It's a shame because the 4800U laptops are either sold out or going for huge markups right now.

That makes more sense. I wonder how long before they increase capacity
