this is becoming an insanely good deal. it was a good deal at 399, better at 349. and now 299? it's one of those slickdeals i'm tempted to buy even though i dont need it!
I am sure if you wait even more till 2021 or better 2022 BF, there will be even better electronics. 😛
Review for the laptop [notebookcheck.net]

Seems to be 2 M.2 slots and 1 DDR4.

jesus tapdancing christ..will you people stop?

I just bought a laptop that has 8gb... I watched benchmarks closely.. i put in another 8gb ram... guess what? SAME EXACT FPS. MOST GAMES TODAY DONT NEED MORE THAN 8GB RAM, unless its star citizen or you have chrome with 20 tabs open at the same time.


THIS WILL PLAY DIABLO 3 NO PROBLEM, jesus christ people stop.
Does your laptop have a Ryzen CPU and a Vega 8 integrated gpu? Ryzen architecture prefers and utilizes dual channel better. The vega 8 gpu also benifits from dual channel as it can make better use of the higher bandwidth. Here's some YouTube links.

what type of ram is on this one? 2666? can i toss it into a laptop that had 2166?
2400. you can use two ram together with different speed. it will just slow down to the lowest speed of the two.

Quote from cat_dad :
Anyone wanna chime in on how the colors look in person? Thinking about trying ElementaryOS on it
It's magnesium alloy body that's been given an anodized coating. The coating has a metallic-look, brushed/frosted/matte finish, not glossy/candy, the product photos give a good representation of the anodized coating job, and this review [notebookcheck.net] gives more closeups on the silver/gray color. Note that magnesium alloy can feel like plastic if you don't know what to expect (the giveaway is the much reduced flex and creaky noises, also the magnesium casing will feel colder to the touch).

Black and silver are fairly standard if you've seen electronics in these colors before, and rose gold really is more of a powdery metallic light pink. The rose gold also only shows up on the upper half outside and inner bezel; per the photos, the keyboard area and bottom are silver. The black and silver are single tone all over.

Anodized coatings can be worn away with use, usually showing up on the edges first (top lid, but also the bottom half bottom edge area where palms rub up, especially if you wear watches or bracelets), but if you store it in a sleeve or its own pocket in a bag a good laptop coating should last years before showing wear. Anodized wear can give a rugged look though, so don't worry about it if you don't mind "battle damage", and consider black to highlight any wear that shows up (the alloy body is a gray color when exposed).

Bezel color might also factor in; high contrast between bezel and the usual use environment, or bezel and the screen, may feel more utilitarian and focus-enhancing (it's easier to identify and separate you computing desktop from the rest of the world), while low contrast across screen-bezel-environment may be more relaxing as the screen's dominant color blends into the bezel, blending into the environment. You'd have to factor in your usual room colors and background theme though. You may also not notice it if you've never done side-by-side comparisons, or if your screen is usally much brighter than the environment.

Doesn't apply to Walmart, read the fine print
I verified that Chase Pay works for 5%, so probably Paypal would too. The fine print is for Walmart not being classified as a "Department Store", so using the card in store won't give the 5%.

You posted this again even after people told you this video was tested in dual Channel. Do you work for Motile or something? Please read the description.

2166, 2400, 2666 will likely all work with minimal difference. As they were saying due to a lot more throttling on the laptop cpu compared to desktop, the speed difference likely will be less than that of the desktop ryzen cpu.

If you care about dual channel on this laptop you're in the wrong price bracket.

The gaming you can do on a Ryzen 5 3500U is pretty limited regardless. I bought one (huawei matebook D) for my brother. Although yes you can do some. It will barely run Destiny at 30 FPS for example, settings as low as possible. You aren't really going to get current 3D gaming out of it. Maybe stuff like Rocket League. Not stuff like Assassin's Creed. And you could probably do most of that on single channel too. That's my point. The band of gaming that dual vs single Ryzen matters to is pretty narrow, kind of stupid to worry about it. It's not much for gaming WITH dual channel.

And again, cant you add a stick of ram and make it dual channel if it's so important? I honestly dont know but I'm guessing. Granted that adds some to the cost.

If you want better, spend more! This a great out the door deal for 300.

And again, isn't this "thin n light" ethos? why would you try to make a thin and light device into a gaming device in the first place? Thermals and heat anyone?

Do you work for lenovo or something?

So I just got the laptop and noticed that the copy of windows that's installed isn't activated... Tried emailing their customer service using the address that's in the booklet and just got an auto response saying it does not exist...

Anybody else having this problem?
Get it online and follow the instructions under "Reactivate from Within Windows 10 [howtogeek.com]".

The Motile is a kickass laptop for a huge number of people, it's no doubt great. I'd get it too. BUT where this all stemmed from was the people who were on the fence about the recent Leveno 330s and this Motile. I was making a point to show people who wanted to light game that the Leveno would be the better option. Just trying to help people in their decision.

The leveno is linked here $309
