Cheapest I've seen a 2060 go for. Not bad. I just wonder about that CPU + Thermals on this.

Trash cpu and only 8 gigs of ram.

Ram is easily upgradable, it's just the CPU I don't know about. How bad is it going to bottleneck this laptop?

Could this be a good option to stream with?

Why do you say, "trash cpu"? My "go-to" for evaluating CPUs is checking it's Passmark score, which is 8,076--decent in my book. What am I missing? Thermals? I'm looking to educate myself.

Supposedly the bottleneck is less than 9% which is better than I expected. The new 4800 chip by AMD destroys this cpu but at the cost of about $350 more on avg. Basically if you don't have $350 more than this is a great deal. If you do have $350 more I would wait until black Friday and get a 2060 with a 4800h. That chip is so amazing that it makes me tear up just thinking about.

I've been eyeing this thing all day. Adding more ram wouldn't be much of a problem but wished it came with an I7. But for this price don't know if a better deal can be had. I'll be mostly using it just for games, surfing the net and watching videos so I think it'll be fine for my needs.

Looks like it goes for $999 on Amazon. I'm curious about the temperature and whether the CPU throttles under heavy load though.

Forget the 4800H, the 4600H beats this and the 10th gen model.

Junky CPU. 9750H is the lowest model worth touching. With the advent of Renoir this isn't a competing model.

You're correct and the educated one. Ignore the trash comment.

How's the battery life on this?
Does it have USB-C charging?
