Luckily, Windows 10 has made life easier. It has a factory reset option, which wipes all preloaded software and drivers. Clean install without the install. I've done this with all my new Win10 devices.

Put the CPU model in the OP. It's pretty good:
AMD Ryzen 5 2500U
4 (2 logical cores per physical)
single thread 1697; cpumark 7372
comparable to 8th gen Intel Core i5-8250U

Nice looking laptop. Small bezels.

Not for this model (81FB006AUS) they don't. This is a Best Buy exclusive configuration so specs won't be available for it on other sites. It was also a FP deal just over a week ago. Don't you think at least a few people that bought it would have come back to post that the display resolution was wrong?

Also keep in mind, the "S" means there's no optical drive either... that matters to some people, too.

Any idea on how to find out the Adobe RGB %? Notebook check doesn't have it listed. I've been trying to research this info since the last deal with no success.

For light gaming, how does this compare against the similar speced Lenovo but that comes with the core i5 8250u?

According to Lenovo's spec sheets it says one DIMM slot is soldered and there is another DIMM slot. But it says the chipset only supports a maximum 8GB of RAM. What?

From the spec sheet"
"15ARR: 8GB max / 2400MHz DDR4, dual-channel capable,
4GB soldered to system board, one DDR4 SO-DIMM socket"

I know everyone loves their SSDs, but I just can't function with a hard drive that small and having to buy/install another hard drive ups the overall effective price.

If the intel one doesn't have a dedicated gpu on it then this one beats it. I have seen somewhere that amd vega 8 one has twice the gpu power of intel i5 8250u. There are few games where amd gives playable framerates while intel can't.

Quote from Jesse :
Lenovo has been caught more than once spying on users, and virtually all US military and government purchasers and contractors are disallowed from using Lenovo (including Motorola) stuff. They should absolutely under no circumstances be trusted out of the box.

Lenovo's caught and admitted spying has to this point all been preloaded software-based, so as long as your intentions are to wipe out the Windows 10 preload and switch to Linux or install Windows 10 from a non-Lenovo disk and skip installing Lenovo's software afterwards, the hardware should be fine. If you're not reloading the OS though, absolutely under no circumstances buy this, or any other, Lenovo stuff.
Luckily, Windows 10 has made life easier. It has a factory reset option, which wipes all preloaded software and drivers. Clean install without the install. I've done this with all my new Win10 devices.
