Radeon 780M Graphics are nearly as fast as Nvidia GTX1650

3DMark Time Spy
780M 2950
GTX1650 3000
RX6400 3330

My um733 with Radeon 680M time spy gpu is 1969 which seems to be underperforming according to below article benchmarks.
https://www.ultrabookreview.com/5...enchmarks/

If I don't include demo on benchmark aka shorter run um733 timespy score
2700
9744 CPU 7735HS
2390 GPU 680M

Beware 780m benchmark is most likely a short run and prolonged use will be a lower score.

Still a powerful compact system with decent cooling / throttling performance.

correct but there are workarounds...for now...

>On the "Oops, you've lost internet connection" or "Let's connect you to a network" page, use the "Shift + F10" keyboard shortcut.
>In Command Prompt, type the OOBE\BYPASSNRO command to bypass network requirements on Windows 11 and press Enter.
>The computer will restart automatically, and the out-of-box experience (OOBE) will start again.

TDP on this can go twice as high as the Ally. Has USB4 as well.
Different use cases.

barebone systems do not come with any operating system because there is no hard drive. Even if they give you a link to download windows 11, it won't have a license key.

Why not? My laptop had the windows key built in the bios. When I booted to Windows install, it recognized my key

I bought the um733 barebones, installed my own ram and ssd. Installed win10 pro which automatically activated once online. Maybe win11 is more strict when it comes to activation?
