No, the performance of 5650U is not close to 5850u at all. Don't make up stuffs without any basis. What you can say is that the performance of 5650u is adequate enough for most of the users, even for some demanding tasks.

In Last year, most of those posts are mine and the $250 price difference was with the barebone configuration like 128GB M.2 SSD, 8GB soldered Ram etc., so that people can upgrade by themselves. Most of those were created by me by taking the configurable options and then maximizing the components which can't be upgraded like the CPU, soldered Memory, Keyboard backlit, IR Camera etc., while keeping rest like the upgradable Ram size, SSD etc. to bare minimum.

60%, can you point me some benchmarks where you are deducing this from. Not debating you, but curious myself.
May be the below comparison will help you. There are cases where 5800U/5850U can go over 70%. Example: 7z Decompression.

Quote from Suryasis :
If you add another stick to the empty slot then only. I think there are lot of confusion about partially and fully soldered memory and how they work in dual channel.
  • For fully soldered memory without any slot for upgrade, now a days, they are always configured in full dual channel mode. if you see a 12GB soldered Ram, like some of Lenovo Yoga 7i and 9i models, they work in 6GBx2 Dual channel mode. They are not like two separate Ram modules are soldered but actually the Ram chips (which you see at the top of a Ram stick) are directly soldered in the motherboard. Normally those Ram chips are 1GB or 2GB in size and they can be configured to run full dual channel for almost any size.
  • For cases like this where certain amount is soldered with one DIMM slot available for memory upgrade, you need to add memory to that to make it run dual channel and it will run in full dual channel mode only if the amount of memory you're adding, matches the size of soldered memory. Otherwise, it will run in hybrid Dual channel mode or Flex mode.​
Are you saying the 16gb RAM on this machine is soldered into one of the two slots and will not operate in dual channel mode?
Need a strong laptop for college that I'd like to last 3-4 years and wondering if no -dual channel performance would end up being a constraint.

Yes, it will not operate in dual channel mode unless you add another Ram (16GB preferably for full dual channel mode) to the empty slot.

I feel like this is an "ok" deal. the 5600u chip performance is very close to the 5850u it looks like though.

Question: Is there really no thunderbolt port on this?
Is that a serious question on the Thunderbolt with an AMD laptop?

If you have a Perks at Work account, it's only $1046. Also, it looks like you'll get ~9% back in Lenovo rewards and Perks at Works is offering 6% back.

My company doesn't officially participate but I entered my corporate email anyway and it worked.

https://www.perksatwork.com/
I went through this account setup and it gave me the same Lenovo page that my company gets to through BenefitsHub (although it was broken using our company website lol).

That's a pretty good deal for $1046, will watch this as we get closer to Black Friday - don't need it til then.

I haven't heard failed soldered RAM to be a widespread problem. Are you experiencing otherwise?
As soon as the machine tries to access the faulty memory, it's likely it will fail. And there's no way to prevent it from doing so. Soldered memory puts you in a corner, in that IF a chip were to fail, the easiest option is a Mobo swap.

Thunderbolt is proprietary to Intel so you won't see it on laptops with AMD processors.
M1 Macs have Thunderbolt. Just a matter of getting a license. Maybe Intel is being a jerk maybe not...

Completely true, but I have owned many Chromebooks which have used soldered RAM for years without any failures.

Comes down to how much of a premium you're willing to pay for 2 extra cores I guess.


EDIT: Some benchmarks here [notebookcheck.net].

Really eyeing this deal myself. The T450s it's replacing is technically working, but it's also starting to show its age. I'm down to upgrade the SSD and RMA later if need be.
