Windows 10: AMD Ryzen vs Intel i series

hi all i have to confess when it comes to hardware I'm a bit of a noob my main laptop is a toshiba s50 , i7 , 8gb ram with 250ssd - main thing I use this for is DJing (I use Pioneer Rekordbox) for most other things I use my Chromebook however my windows laptop is dying (touchpad stops working, battery is buggered ) not to mention Ive dropped it a few times. so looking to get something new and therefore want some opinions on the AMD processors against the Intel i series i don't think for what i want i can stretch to another i7 what are your opinions on the AMD Ryzen series and in particular the 7 series? TIA Bart

AMD Ryzen vs Intel i series

rekordbox - free to download - System Requirements - Manual

The rekordbox system requirements don't seem very restrictive. I have no personal experience with it.

AMD's traditional virtues are with their CPUs with integrated graphics. AMD calls the APUs (accelerated processing units). AMD also pushed 64 bits on the desktop (Intel restricted X64 to their Itanium series), and were the first to market with PCI-E 4.0 motherboards.

My first PCs were Intel. I switched to AMD during the Athlon X64 days (socket 939). Went back to Intel with their Core series. Both of my current desktops use Ryzen CPUs. I'm not a loyalist of either company. (I admit to a fondness for nVidia graphics cards, over AMD.) I also have an inexpensive laptop with an Intel I3 CPU.

I'm not in a position to offer solid advice, but I'd be surprised if you could go wrong with AMD. (Or Intel.)
