Main downsides:
-No ethernet port (this is use-case specific; I do a lot of networking and wish I had one)
-No TB3 support (this is a big bummer as direct access to PCIE lanes is very helpful QGeeM FTW)
-No USB-C charging (this is an annoyance as I'm waiting for the day when we can finally standardize on one port for everything!)
Small, lightweight, powerful. Intel constantly gets bogged down (no longer snappy); AMD doesn't. Love it!
Get a charger with folding plugs.
Great case: Lacdo 14 Inch Protective Laptop Shoulder Bag Sleeve Case
Model: FLEX-14API
Model Name: 81SS
AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Processor, 12GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB

Main downsides:
-No ethernet port (this is use-case specific; I do a lot of networking and wish I had one) [USB 3.0 dongles suck]
-No TB3 support (this is a big bummer as direct access to PCIE lanes is very helpful QGeeM FTW)
-No USB-C charging (this is an annoyance as I'm waiting for the day when we can finally standardize on one port for everything!) [That said, USB-C is still annoying as it doesn't 'seat' snugly compared to USB-A)
-Screen is a bit dim & bland.
Even with those downsides it is still an awesome laptop [Have Dell E7470, C940, Flex14, iPad(s), & desktop(s)]
