That guy tried to judge the whole performance of those two processors by GeekBench score alone which it literally the worst way of comparing. GeekBench typically favor Intel CPUs andut runs for a very short time, resulting CPU with higher turbo boost which it can retain for extremely short time, getting higher score. In rrality, 5500ubis on average 12% slower in single threaded but over 40% more powerful in any multi threaed tasks. Also, you will have a far snappier system overall. It even beats i5-1135G7 and i7-1165G7 in all muti threaed workloads. Plus the iGPU performance is better than the UHD Graphics in i3-1125G4. Remember, this i3 doesn't have IRIS XE graphics but a UHD iGPU which is slightly faster than age old UHD 620 and a lot slower than Vega 7 in 5500u. Check an actual review below to see how this cpu performing https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-E14-G3-AMD-Laptop-Review-Affordable-Business-Notebook-with-Ryzen-Power.551070.0.html

Ram is 100 percent upgradable. For HP or Dell laptop, just look up maintenance manual.

Regarding the question whether the display is IPS or not, let me answer it. This Laptop belongs to 15z-ef2000 series. If you go to HP website and try to customize it, you can see that both the 1080p Options are IPS, one with Touch and one without touch. There is no non-IPS 1080p option.

Most HP laptops, and they seem to be mostly Walmart exclusive laptops with the "WM" at the end of the model, that people claim are not upgradeable are indeed upgradable. If they dont have the little access panels on the bottom, you have to take the whole bottom off.

That's kind of how I feel too. I usually build my own computers but haven't in 3 or 4 yrs so I'm kind of outta the corporate world built stuff. Just figured Dell might be the way to go. Possibly lesser of the evils. I'm not real familiar with laptop builds.
Dell is no better. My personal Dell laptop (INSPIRON 5485 2N1) hinge broke within a year. Dell refused to repair saying it's not covered by warranty. My office dell laptop has gone through multiple repairs as well.

I didn't used to like recommending HP in the past but this is a pretty good deal for what you get.

What are the odds this machine supports 4k to an external monitor?

About 2 years ago I bought a laptop with a i5-1035g4 which supports 4k out through USB-C but the manufacturer didn't wire it up for that capability.

This is a great laptop if you don't look at it.

That screen is going to get annoying real fast.

Honest question. If you had to pick between a Dell and HP with identical specs which would be the better choice? I'm trying to find a decent laptop for my mother in law. Seems like a decent processor, 8gb ram, and 256 ssd is somewhat avail. Wouldn't mind 16 GB 512gb ssd combo but those seem like a large jump for some reason. Like an extra $200. Intel or amd doesn't matter too much but battery life for her might be more prevalent than it would me.
I trust hp more than any other brand. I've owned multiple HP computers and they have all never given me any issue.

Can't upgrade ram stuck with 8gb is rough.
Before removing the memory modules, follow these steps: 1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Preparation for disassembly on page 25). 2. Remove the bottom cover (see Bottom cover on page 26). 3. Remove the battery (see Battery on page 28). Remove the memory modules: 1. Spread the two retention clips outward (1) until the memory module tilts up at a 45° angle. 2. Grasp the edge of the memory module (2), and then gently pull the module out of the slot. Use the same procedure to remove both memory modules. IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the memory module, hold the memory module by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the memory module. To protect a memory module after removal, place it in an electrostatic-safe container. IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the memory module, hold the memory module by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the memory module. Do not bend the memory module. 1. Align the notched edge of the memory module with the tab in the memory module slot (1). 2. Press the module into the slot until seated (2).

Those are the instructions on how you absolutely can upgrade the memory.

I had cheap HP a few years ago. The memory slot was on the backside of the main board. About 1 hr of work for something that should take a minute.

It should through the HDMI but only 30hz. That is what I use for my 4k monitor. Not that good for gaming of course but I do not do that. Just games which are not very fast.

It should not work through the type C at all. You are correct a bit of a change in the wiring and it could. I do not understand why so many of these are wired up so as to not properly support the processor.
