>still weak on laptops where Intel seems like they're putting in a good fight

Compared to just a year ago, AMD are absolutely killing it in the laptop market. The old A-series APUs were strictly relegated to very low cost machines, first-gen Ryzen struggled to gain traction, but most major manufacturers are now offering Ryzen-based laptops across the midrange. AMD are a long way from dominance, but they've become a legitimate competitor in a remarkably short space of time; for the first time ever, I expect my next laptop to be AMD-based.

Mine is. AMD Ryzen 3 3200U in Acer Aspire ~$300. Like it a lot. First non Intel in a laptop for me.
