Yes if you use in sunlight not good. If indoors the battery will last longer so a trade off.

USB 4.0 is great. HDMI2.0b is also great hard to find.

I think it has one open memory slot so should be easy to upgrade to 16GB.

Something wrong here. USB4 did not come to AMD mobile till the Ryzen 6xxx series and that too had lots of initial problems that got fixed only later

This laptop is from the previous generation that has only upto USB3.2 official support. Unlike Intel and Apple, AMD has been late to the USB4 + TB game. I think it is a typo....

From another one of their articles:
"
Thunderbolt 4 is basically a guarantee that you are getting the best version of USB4. While USB4 offers the same 40Gbps speed as Thunderbolt 4, there is also a slower 20Gbps version of USB4. Thunderbolt 4 also guarantees you can run a pair of 4K displays at minimum and transfer data at up to 32Gbps. With USB4, you are guaranteed only the minimums of running a single display and a 16Gbps data rate. A USB4 hub also lacks the mandatory charging and wake-from-sleep requirements of Thunderbolt 4, as well as the 10Gbps networking. "

So this is superior to some USB 4 ports. New technology and seems difficult to understand. The article you posted said it also needed support on the motherboard so perhaps the motherboard will allow USB 4 on the 5000 series.

Now full USB 4 allows logos on the laptop. So there is that. But I would make sure a USB4 machine had Thunderbolt 4.

The screen is absolute dogshit. I was struggling with this model for a year before they agreed to return it. Can't be used in dark at all, lighting is so inconsistent, it's like oil spills on a lake
