Mobile Ryzen, especially Renoir APUs (Ryzen 4000 series) is infinitely better than the old Turion x2 machines. I had one of those machines almost 15 years ago when I was in college.
Ryzen mobile + a discrete GPU like a 1650/2060 is a great combo if you're looking for mobile gaming. Check out the Asus Zephyrus G14s particularly.
