You say that, but there are certainly Ryzen 7 laptop models around in the sub-$1k range. People like HP put their mid-ranges together with AMD chips on the basis that Intel's were the premium ones.

Now, these models do exist, in theory. I challenge you to find any stock, though, and that's going to hurt AMD.

The 4700U/4500U product lines have been everywhere for the past few months in the US. HP/Dell/Acer all have products sitting on the shelves at best buy, walmart, etc. These are the mid-tier AMD products, but they are extremely well placed when compared with the vast majority of the intel product lines they are sitting next to. In many cases the $600-700 those products are selling for best pretty much all the intel products priced below $1200 or so.

(HP, which I don't recommend, was selling a 4700U based product starting at $400 on black Friday on their web site)

edit: Heck just checked there are loaded Asus ROG G14's in stock at a local retailer for under $1200 (that is 4900HS+RTX 2060). Pretty much one of the fastest laptops out there.

Agree. My above post was poorly worded.
