at $584 is great. Specs are fine and Gen-2 as well
I think there are too many sacrifices for this semi-horrid Lenovo. IMHO

Given the price.. it's a good deal.
Everyone is making a big deal out of zen2 vs zen3. I'm not seeing much of a performance advantage. It's not like one is packing USB4 or thunderbolt.
The processor to buy from this series looks to be the 5850U pro. It's more powerful than most higher wattage processors.

I'm not sure what people are doing with these. You aren't getting better battery life with this. Most of the battery drain comes from the screen these days. Especially if you're in the 15w range for CPUs. I keep seeing basically two use cases for laptops or home computers in general.
1) Casual users. Web surfing, writing emails, watching youtube, maybe some excel/word work. This crowd including myself most of the time could get by with any processor in the last 10 years. They'll need 8 gigs max ram but more won't hurt. Just like more processing power won't hurt. They just don't need it. The best screen you can get and the biggest battery to power it will be the most satisfying.
2)Performance user. Maybe programming AI, machine learning, gaming, cad, photoshop, video editing. You're going to want a powerful CPU and usually a dGPU. GPU will most likely limit your work performance. Until you can scale to cloud computing.
Anything else you're getting into special use cases (NASes, cloud computing, linux, servers, networking, etc..)
If you're getting a desktop it should probably have a GPU. Laptops I would say depending on the use case.
