Lenovo Product Spec for this exact model: https://psref.lenovo.co
This has 8GB soldered Ram and one Ram slot where 8GB is plugged in. You can replace that with up to a 32GB module to have total of 40GB memory. However, only 16GB (8GB soldered + 8Gb portion of the 32GB Module) will run at dual channel.
The GPU TGP is 100W which is not really Max-Q by any means. It performs within 10%-12% margin of a full powered 115W RTX 3060 almost all the time.
This has MUX switch and both FreeSync and G-Sync. So, when you are having Optimus enabled, i.e. the Monitor is connected to the integrated Vega Graphics, you'll have FreeSync and when MX switch is turned on to disable Optimus, you'll have G-Sync in the monitor.
The Display used in this model is BOE BOE0998 (NV156FHM-NY8). Below are the details: -
Panel HardwareID: BOE BOE0998 (NV156FHM-NY8);
Coverage: 99.3% sRGB, 69.9% Adobe RGB, 73.1% DCI-P3;
Measured gamma: 2.22;
Max brightness in the middle of the screen: 351.94 cd/m2 on power;
Min brightness in the middle of the screen: 3.78 cd/m2 on power;
Contrast at max brightness: 1143:1;
White point: 7300 K;
Black on max brightness: 0.30 cd/m2;
PWM: No.
I regurally run dual 27" 1440P monitors as well as the built in display. Fan is quiet unless gaming which then can get quite loud but I have headphones on. For a gaming laptop, it is relatively light and thin (granted it is "only" a RTX 3060). For gaming on the go, it's pretty nice. Webcam is nothing to write home about.
I wish it had thunderbolt (but this is an AMD system, so...) as my previous LG Gram 17 had thunderbolt and I can't use the dock with this laptop (yes I knew this before I purchased). I don't find USB docks to be nearly as stable as my (relatively) same priced Thunderbolt Dock (but maybe that's just the docks I have tried).
The 5800h is a great CPU. If I am not mistaken the only faster AMD chips are just slightly better binned 8 core CPU's, and the extra for 300mhz (or whatever) will never be noticed on a day to day basis. And because it has Radeon 8 graphics built in, you can still run esports titles while only on battery (albeit low graphics settings and/or 720P).
Would I recommend this laptop? Yes. If you need a relatively powerful CPU and a good mobile GPU that is also portable (I'm ignoring all those 8+lb desktop replacement "laptops" that I question why they even exist), then you really can't go wrong with this one for "only" $1300 UNLESS you need Thunderbolt connectivity or more than 40GB of RAM.

Overall I love the slim 7.
Any slick deals on the 32gb ram to replace the removeable 8gb?
EDIT: Both of my monitors are being driven by displayport and not HDMI, so that might be part of it.... the 4K was being run by HDMI.

However using a Plugable Docking station to my dual Samsung 1080p monitors and it just seems laggy when dragging windows at times. Idk it's weird, just doesn't feel sharp/crisp like my desktop did even tho it had inferior equipment.
Can't figure it out . . . Games / videos don't stutter or anything.
