I bought this. Threw in 2x16GB Teamgroup 3200 MHz ram. Two nvme slots. The first one is where the boot drive sits but it's a tiny short stick. Moved it to the second slot because the second slot could only accommodate the short stick. There's a little metal screw plate you move in the first slot and lock it in further down so you can put a 2280 length drive in. I threw in a 2 TB second nvme. Solid machine and pretty quick.

You seem to have not been around for the last 1-2 years.

AMD Ryzen 5000 series clearly beats the latest Intel Core line up in Multithreaded applications, Power efficiency and lately in many other Single threaded applications. In short, AMD is faster while still being more power efficient.

AMD's integrated GPU also beats Intel's offerings.

AMD has taken back the throne for more than a year now.

Hi OP, it looks like this information is incorrect in your description, or at least the 1-year accident protection is not included in the price now vs. when you posted:
Warranty
1 Year Mail In Service
Accidental Damage Service
None

That being said, with Dell I encourage people to spend the extra cost and get the Accidental Damage Service, at least for one year. It includes hinge damage - this is a common, huge problem with Dell lately, and they will deny manufacturer defect claims for hinge breaks. Hopefully this new model is different. I believe there is already a G-series class lawsuit going for how bad the hinge is/was on those gaming models, and most of the time it happens in less than a year. I know this from personal experience.

I don't know why they are still using HDMI 1.4b on a newly released laptop in 2021.
At least the usb-c port support DP and PD.

I'd like to ask a question of those "really smart people" out there.

In my search for a laptop, I see a lot of Ryzen. I have spend years building Windows Desktops and always have used Intel.

Will I see a noticeable "hit" using Ryzen for medium to heavy load Business usage? Minimal gaming. Any considerations?

I don't do any graphics work on it it's mostly for coding but the movies I've watched on it seemed vibrant. people can get their panties up in a twist over Adobe RGB and DCI levels but it really is fine for indoor use.

The Ryzen will actually perform better on single core apps (to to 25% better) which I would expect your business apps.
