In terms of Mobile Platforms., the AMD Ryzen APUs are generally speaking "On Par" with their Intel Core 'Ultra-Low' counterparts (i5 8250U) in CPU tasks and will absolutely curb stop the Intel Iris UHD Graphics with the Vega Graphics.
With this said AMD Processors., and I'm not just talking Ryzen but even the A-Series... in terms of Desktop Applications / Workloads are frankly very similar in terms of the Capabilities and Performance; regardless if we're talking the Budget or Premium Products.
Where there does tend to be a difference is in Computation Times for Intensive Individual Tasks.
So, like don't expect to have Photoshop Filters process "Quickly" but at the same time; someone you'll notice is you can have A LOT more going on (even with something like the Ryzen 3 2200U) than you can on it's Intel counter-part; that with just a Single Photoshop Document, plus a couple of Chrome/Firefox/Edge Tabs open (let's be honest we all have reference open) or Multiple Applications that you're switching between... yeah that's when Intel tends to start struggling and HARD.
Where-as the Budget Ryzen isn't going to offer that much difference compared to even say the Workstation Threadripper in that regard.
What you are going to want to ensure though, is that you get a Laptop with enough Memory (8GB is "Minimum" but I'd highly recommend 16GB; and an M.2 PCI-E SSD is also a somewhat must have) … you're also going to want to make sure (with the Ryzen 3 2200U) that the Memory is 2400 - 2666MHz and Dual Channel.
Ensure that, and it'll be a surprisingly capable "On-the-Go" Workstation.
