Also, bought a Mosiso sleeve for about $10 (search Amazon), fits nicely. Ordered a similar Voova sleeve for about $13 for my other Motile. (my resistance was futile, so I bought them both Motile!)
I've gone thr three M142 now. They all seem to have some issues with hdmi. The first one keeps intermittently blanking out for no reason... even with just having the standard windows background only with no apps running.
second one did better but still having the same issues. just less frequent
third one i am on now seems to have issues only when i play a video on the 2nd screen connected via the hdmi using chrome. playing with firefox seems ok.
these things only seem to happen on the hdmi screen. the laptop screen itself never have anu blanking out problem. I am thinking this is somehow related to the vega igpu.
Was hoping more people would maybe check out and see if they have this issue but seems like no one else cares or really use their hdmi frequently.
My HDMI port works fine with 1080p output, but when I try 4k 60, it "pops" and then the external monitor loses signal. I would say be weary of these machine outputting a consistent 4k signal.

I think it's an issue with the GPU. I upgraded to 16GB of RAM and it still freezes if scrolling too quickly through videos or webpages with many gifs.
I am planning to return the laptop as it has multiple issues which I don't want to deal with even though I like the laptop and the accessories it came with.
If you're running a stock setup like me, and you've tried three laptops without success, I'd guess the problem is on your end. It's got to be a cable, your TV/monitor, or software (I use Microsoft's Edge beta browser).
Let me know it there's something you'd like me to try to help you troubleshoot the problem. I'd hate to see you have return what I think is the best cheap laptop you can buy.
I've finally had a chance to try the Motile with my 4k TV (a TCL 55R615). It's working fine for me as well with the default settings. Played about 20 minutes of youtube (mix of 1080p and 4k content) with no blanking.
If you're using a monitor (as opposed to a TV) -- what's your pixel format and color depth set to? (look in the Radeon settings under displays). Mine is fixed at 8bpc and YCbCr 4:2:0 respectively. If yours aren't, you might try changing them.
As an aside, I get dropped frames on 4k@60fps Youtube content. 4k@30 is perfectly smooth though.

Have you tried updating to the latest AMD drivers (https://www.amd.com/en/support/ap...yzen-5-1)? That's the only driver change I made (well, and changing the wifi driver due to switching the wifi card).

I am upgrading the drivers to see if if the problem continues.
