5500u has multithreading, so its 6 cores, but 12 threads.

The actual term is SMT or Simultaneous Multi Threading. Every modern Processor has multi threading, even a single core CPU with only one thread support.

?????? 4GB in slot. So, you can replace that isn't it? You can put a 32GB stick on that to have a 36GB total but only 8GB total memory will run in dual channel.

BTW, be aware of the Display. if you hate those low end 250 nits 45% NTSC IPS displays, after seeing this TN Panel, those cheap IPS panels will look like a blessing to you.

Yes, but there are Ryzen variants that are 1 thread per core, so unless you know which are 1:1 or 1:2 core:threads, just saying it's a 6 core processor isn't giving the full performance picture, which is why I pointed that out for this processor.

I know what you were trying to convey; just corrected you on the terminology. Even a Processor that can handle 1 thread per core, that can still do Multi-threading using thread switching. The ability to process more than one thread simultaneously is called SMT or Simultaneous Multi threading. Intel and AMD processors support 2 way SMT but there are other Processors, some from IBM which can support 8 way SMT or handling 8 threads simultaneously per core.
Don't take it as an insult or anything, just sharing some knowledge. What you tried to convey is absolutely correct.

No offense taken, just trying to clarify for the laymen!

Beware the IdeaPad 3 chassis cools terribly. Laptop will likely throttle hard with any extended or prolonged processor heavy activity.

There is a Gateway Creator Series with a Ryzen 5 4600H (beats this one) that has gone on sale on and off for $599. The panel is more of less the same except it's 120Hz and has dedicated GPU. I'm waiting for Walmart to drop the price again. It's $749 now. This is probably the next best deal in this price range that I've seen in terms of specs. You could get a nicer panel but lowered specs for a bit more. I think there's an Acer posted with a 400 Nit but lower specs and fixed 8 GB RAM for around $719.

I am already tied to the ball and chain. The last thing I need is to be soldered to some big assz ugly Chinese piece of junk.
