I thought this was a great deal until I saw it was a TN panel. Don't get a tn panel on a laptop unless you plan to use it as a desktop replacement. If you are moving and shifting the laptop all the top it becomes annoying when you have to tilt the screen and your head to get that perfect viewing angle every time you open the laptop.
No this doesn't perform as well as a discreet gtx 1650. Mx350 maybe. Soldered ram ( 8gb isn't enough to realize the true potential of this chip). You can add more but not running in dual channel mode.
It still runs in dual channel mode. Google Hybrid Dual Channel or Flex Mode.

Any comments? Looks like a great deal from reviews of this 8th AMD processors vs 10gen Intel. This graphics also outperforms the gtx1650 on paper.

Thanks for that. I guess I'll wait for a 1650 on another decent laptop or wish that one with this processor and a 1650 goes on sale.

Yea, but you're limited to 8 gb total in dual channels, the extra ram will run on single channel mode

That is enough to give the GPU the boost it needs. These are very basic Laptops and not targeted towards tasks which need a tons of Ram.

I cannot agree with this more

I have the Lenovo S340 with the same panel, and it's soooo bad. 220 nits especially does not cut it

How's the build quality on these? Shame that these amazing Ryzen U CPUs only seem to be on cheapo laptops for now.

I don't mind soldered as long as it's got a slot for at least 32GB more. Not even bothering with this one after seeing the specs above with the TN screen, though. EeeeeeYUCK!
