I have the previous deal of $500 for Lenovo Yoga 6 AMD 4650U 8GB/256GB. One of the best purchases ever with great performance and battery life. One thing to note is 4650U is 6-core 12-thread while 4700U is 8-core 8-thread. Additional threads make a noticeable difference for apps that take advantage of it.

Is there a real difference between this one and the ideapad flex 5 (16gb ram, 1tb ssd)? Or is it that the flex 5 at a 15.6" screen is just bigger?
Better build quality, and most importantly the screen on this covers 100% of sRGB (or close to it). Crucial if you plan to do graphics or photo/video work on it. I did photo editing on a "regular" laptop long ago before I learned about color spaces. And I ended up making the colors way too over-saturated, because the laptop had a 60% sRGB screen. I bumped up the saturation to make the colors look better on the laptop, but unknowingly made them look terrible everywhere else (desktop monitors and TVs target 100% sRGB).

On the mobile cpus it's more level playing field:
https://www.pcworld.com/article/3...-know.html
AMD is manufactured on TSMC's 7nm process, which is about 115 million transistors / mm^2.

Intel's 11th gen mobile processors are manufactured on Intel's 10nm process, which is about 100 million transistors / mm^2. So they're pretty competitive. Intel has the edge on single core instructions per clock, AMD has the edge on multi-core performance because they manage to pack in 6-8 cores vs Intel's 2-4 cores.

Intel's 11th gen desktop processors are still manufactured on Intel's 14nm process, which is about 37.5 million transistors / mm^2. They're having problems managing heat in their 10nm process, which is why they can't pack in more cores on their mobile processors. On their desktop, just the higher clock frequencies made their 10nm non-viable, and they had to fall back to manufacturing on 14nm. That puts them at a huge disadvantage against AMD.

And if you're curious, Apple's M1 is manufactured on TSMC's 5nm process (they bought out TSMC's entire 5nm capacity in 2020), which is about 175 million transistors / mm^2. So the architectures are probably all similar, and the performance differences we're seeing are mostly because of the different manufacturing processes. All the Intel, AMD, and Apple fanbois can go home - it's the manufacturing process which makes the biggest difference.

Anything from lenovo is trash tier quality
The dirty little secret of the laptop industry is that none of the big brand names actually make their own laptops. This includes Lenovo, Dell, HP, Asus, Acer, Apple, etc. They're all designed and made by Taiwanese companies called ODMs. Original Design Manufacturer - like an OEM except they also design the product. The brand name just slaps their label on it before selling it to you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...rers_(ODMs)

Most of the brands use multiple ODMs. So it's pointless to blacklist or whitelist a brand - there's almost no correlation between brand name and quality. A Lenovo model may actually have more in common with a Dell model (made by the same ODM) than with another Lenovo model (made by a different ODM). If you're curious, Apple's Macbooks are made by Quanta. But Quanta also makes laptops for all the other major brands, including Lenovo. All that fuss about Macbooks being better quality and having magical unicorn dust inside, is just marketing and selectively comparing your good model against someone else's bad model.

I'm pretty sure the Thinkpads are designed and built in-house though. When Lenovo bought the Thinkpad line from IBM, they also bought the building and employees in North Carolina where they were designed. And last I checked, Lenovo still owns that building.

by the time/if we ever see 5800u intel will finally make something better in 1-2 years and i won't care for 5800u anymore.

I find a source that states 96 EU config Intel Xe (same config as 1165G7) beats Ryzen 5000 Vega 8@2Ghz at same RAM speeds in gaming immediately highly suspect. The main source of results like that is usually Intel, itself.
Their top-of-the-line integrated graphics compare most closely with a 4500U in actual gameplay fps.

Kinda hard to keep up with all these lenovo 2/1 laptops. So if all the HD space isn't needed would the $750 flex 5700u costco option be a better choice? Why the hell do they have three 2/1 yoga,flex,yi with basically same specs and close in prices lol

That's not true. Iris XE with 96 EU with TDP set to 25-28W, is more powerful than Vega 8 in 5800U or Vega 7 in 4700u and it's way better than Vega 6 in 4500u. You can check reviews in Notebookcheck.net or Ultrabookreview. In Synthetic benchmarks, 96 EU can be 12-30% more powerful than Vega 7. But in real world applicationscand in gaming, the difference is not that big because of AMD's much mature driver and it's paird with a better cpu.

Yeah, if you pay twice as much for an Intel paired with LPDDR4X and turn it up to where it's going to heat throttle as soon as anything is happening on screen, you can squeeze out a couple more avg fps over a 4800U paired with 3200 Mhz DDR4 in actual gaming benchmarks. But at the price where Intel's iGPU becomes competitive, you can get a dedicated graphics chip for the same price.
Intel's drivers aren't just "not mature enough". It's not some new startup. They're as mature as they're gonna get. The real problem is them being 7 years behind schedule with their internal fab nodes while AMD simply uses TSMC.

It's too expensive for me, but I would reconsider if Dhalsim said 'Yoga' everytime I powered up the laptop.
You mean yoga fire. Do you even play Street Fighter 2 bro?

Relaxxx peoples the former Intel CEO was too busy banging his female employees to make a competitive CPU vs AMD. Give Intel a break ok?

Amen! LeNoGo. Poor build quality with lousy support to back it up. Better pray yours runs ok.
I have to agree. Im looking at this deal because my wife needs one. But I have a 2+ year old Yoga that had a screen replaced under warranty. But after that just a bunch of bugs. No more windows hello. Fingerprint no longer works. Still a good laptop but not as convenient as I hoped for. So I'm on the fence about getting another one.

Dude, don't make up things like paying twice for an Intel. There are plenty of deals available at this or slightly higher than this price with 1165G7 and 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz Ram. And There are plenty of comparison exists where both AMD and Intel are using 4266 MHz LPDDR4X ram and 3200 MHz Ram.
But show me a single review links to back your claim up rather than your words. I can show you plenty. One example is Yoga 7i which comes with normal DDR4 3200 MHz Ram but still beats VEGA 8 in 4800U.

And I am simply stating about Integrated Graphics, Iris XE vs VEGA but why are you bringing the Manufacturing node in that? Am I saying that Zen 3 is inferior to Tiger Lake anywhere? Vega is pretty old now and we actually expected AMD to pair the 5000 series APUs with Navi Graphics to counter Iris XE, which they did not.

How does this compare to the Asus Vivobook with the Ryzen 7-5700U at the same price at Costco (for those who are members)?

The VivoBook unfortunately doesn't have wifi 6, seems like it has a bit dimmer screen, and has a smaller battery. I cant comment on the build quality as I haven't seen them in person.

It does have a newer processor than the yoga though. Unfortunately the 5700u is still zen 2 based so its not quite as huge of a jump as it seems.

Since its not my main computer I went with the Yoga 6, a 4700u should be plenty for casual laptop use for a decent amount of time.
