Consider purchasing it if you can find a good deal (used). It won’t noticeably change performance, but it’s worth a look. If you can afford a new PC, that’s fine, though upgrading is costly and there’s always better options. Focus on: Are you satisfied with your existing setup? Does it meet your requirements? Would the upgrade’s benefits outweigh the environmental cost and emissions of a new machine? How much can you realistically spend on a PC now compared to in six or twelve months?
There are some good options available for that price range. Keep in mind the laptop's power consumption target and whether it supports dual-channel RAM; otherwise, you might need to add more memory for optimal performance. I previously owned a Ryzen 5 2500U and found it limited because the GPU would slow down after just ten minutes of gaming due to thermal throttling.
