If you are looking for fanless, may I suggest an Asus Zephrus? They are designed for cooling a sustained 100W, so when you switch off the GPU + cap the CPU at 15W, they run fanless quite effortlessly and sip battery. Being able to run AI locally is nice, and they are cheaper than you would think in the US:

But of those two... probably the Lenovo? You can get really good task energy out of the 1235U efficiency cores, but you have to manage processes with processlasso (or aniancy on linux) to really leverage that.
I really like the AMD APUs, but the 5000 series feels a little longer in the tooth these days. The die is old, and the IGP is even older.
- meravita 4y agoSo you'd say the 5000 series is somewhat outdated at this point, especially when comparing it to an Intel 12? Asking because https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-i5-1235u-vs-amd-ryzen-5-5625u https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-i5-1235u-vs... seems to suggest they are quite comparable.
- brucethemoose2 4y agoWell yeah Cezzane (5000 series) is a great CPU, but the Intel CPU has, for instance, a newer IGP, and a newer and more capable video decode block. And you can squeeze some more efficiency out of the Intel chip by shuffling threads around yourself.
