720p is approximately 1 MP, so I 'd assume that's what they mean.

This has Vega 8 graphics at 1200 MHz, and enough ram to service the GPU and system memory, so yes. Roblox runs fine on mobile phones, so this would be more than enough for Roblox, CSGo, Fortnite (at reasonable settings) etc.

Gateway is the "budget" brand of Acer. For those who think Acer wasn't already budget enough.

Bought mine for the same price 6+ months ago. Was willing to give up durability for the price as I'm an adult and don't move this thing around much.

-Very happy with the speed so far for day-to-day use.
-Screen is matte, decent quality, not very bright. Someone said 250 nits in another thread, but not sure.
-4+ hours battery streaming 1080p video.
-Keyboard and pad seem fine, but others have complained about the pad.
-Speakers have very little volume.
-Case has some flex if you pick it up with one hand.
-Does not charge via USB-C.
-Added a 1TB M.2 SATA hard drive to the expansion port at the bottom. Super simple, has its own access panel. Expansion port doesn't seem to recognize NVMe M.2 drives.
I never got the main drive to take my Hynix P31.

I bought a gateway at bf last year. It was good until it lasted. It it not even one year and suddenly refused to boot up. Very very bad customer service. We are still trying to figure out how to fix it on its very first year.

virtually same processor except for the speed diff. 8GB RAM will hold back that system to make it feel slower than this Gateway system.

To those talking about memory: I believe the the GPU uses 2 Gb of shared memory. I have 12 Gb (4+8) in my older Ryzen 3500, 10 Gb usable. Really plenty if you aren't doing anything crazy. However, I wouldn't recommend 8 Gb on these memory shared Ryzen processors. 16 Gb is more than enough.
you won't be on "dual-channel" with 12GB; it'll probably be hybrid: 8GB in dual-channel and 4GB in single. single vs dual channel is pretty significant for iGPU. and i dont think you get to choose which 2GB to assign to the iGPU.

Oh my. The Ryzen 5 3450U is quite a bit slower than the Ryzen 5 5500U that was in the $399 HP from a few weeks/months ago.

The fingerprint scanner and extra RAM (HP shipped with 8 GB, but had 4 GB x 2 in 2 slots) are nice though.
if you have an extra $100 (include the added cost of getting 8GB RAM), 5500u is worth it. but for some people, $100 is a day worth of work...

Correct. 8Gb dual channel. From what I read, the GPU requests memory "on demand". But again, I only use the laptop for web browsing, some minor office duties and other minor tasks.

Depends upon your patience & what you're doing. 16GB RAM (well, 14 GB after GPU takes its cut) ought to help things a bit.

If you're buying incredibly cheap laptops, you really can't expect any kind of customer service. It's just not the way the world works anymore. It's all about profit, greed, and exploitation these days. And I mean we are talking about Walmart laptops, here.

Gateway branding still uses the spotted cow logo. I thought they would have updated that at some point.
Marketing. With the price of beef anything associated with a cow would give a premium vibe.

And: "EVOO imports devices made by Shenzhen Bmorn Technology, a Chinese national brand​".

So don't be surprised if this laptop phones home fairly often.
No one cares about Lenovo so I guess no one care about this either

16 gb is probably sufficient, but can the ram be increased in this?
I took this as a joke about how that's always a (legitimate) question on these threads. Thanks for the chuckle.

why does the price continue to drop ??
It hasn't dropped. I paid this same price for it 5 months ago. There's a nearly identical version that has an Intel CPU, for $400, so maybe that's what you're thinking of.

I'm sure it is.

Just pointing out that there is a significant performance difference to be aware of, despite the fact that this system has a "Ryzen 5" processor, even compared to systems that are so close in price.
