Bought this a few weeks ago and am quite happy with it for the price. Best specs I've found lately for a ~$400-$450 NEW laptop (versus refurb if that matters to you). I'm very happy with it so far. I compared it head to head with the lower powered Acer Aspire 3 ($266 but only has the Ryzen 5, 16GB, 512SSD) that was available as a refurb on eBay, and decided to keep this and return the Acer. And yeah, I posted this a couple weeks ago and am posting it again as the price went back up to $799.99, then just came back down - I like it enough to keep highlighting it.

There is an open slot. You can spend $26 to add 16GB stick.

The processor difference is a quite a bit leap.
Posting as people like this laptop as it is better than most $400-ish when on sale.

5700u is a Zen 2/GCN 5 processor with a full fat then generation GPU. AMD has no exact equivalent in the 7000 series as the Zen 2 version 7320u has a 4 cores with a heavily gimped GPU.

Personally think the $420 on sale Vivobook 16x with Zen 3 - 5800HS is a better laptop at this price.

Does anybody know if this supports secondary storage drives like m.2? If not which one would you all recommend that does for a descent price? Thanks,

Quote from Moscar80 :
I've tried to check the standard websites for processor comparisons, but it seems like those are kind of biased against AMD. I have intel and an AMD laptop but I'm trying to figure out exactly what the performance difference between this one and a 5600H would be. I have the 5600 H in a Legion three, but I don't really use that for productivity tasks since it's just a messing around laptop and I wanted to know if this one had a better processor, or at least marginally better enough than the 5600 age to use for trading software multitasking. I usually stick to Intel, but I do like the legion I have.
5600H is actually a Zen 3 at 4.2 Ghz, while 5700U is a Zen 2 at 4.3 Ghz. At same frequencies; Zen 3 is 18% faster in IPC than Zen 2 (and more battery efficienct). At single threaded work load, 5600H will be faster (8% on Cinebench, 20% on Geekbench, 14% on Passmark). At multi-threaded, the two will be close enough as 5700U has 8 cores compared to 5600H's 6 score.

If you want to upgrade in compute, you should get a Zen 4 based 8 core CPU like 7840 U/H/HS or get an Intel 13700H or better.

Yeah - I looked at that one. Nice if you don't need the touch screen and don't mind the 12GB of memory.

I have had this exact same laptop but with 12GB RAM for about 1.5 years now. Got it for $530 at BestBuy.
Performs well as a college laptop. Even trained some heavy ML models and it held it's own. I like the screen size and matte finish.
Battery life is average, not bad. Touch response is also average. Speakers are average too.
Biggest disappointment is the weak build and keyboard. Sometimes the trackpad doesn't work (cursor won't show) right after waking up from sleep. You have to touch the screen for it to work again.

Thanks for the real long term feedback. Would you buy it again if you knew then what you know now? I'm assuming you were originally looking for a decent spec cheaper laptop.

No problem. Yes, I was looking for something that was cheaper and could work for moderate workload(college). Personally, I would have spent a little more on a better laptop with at least 16GB RAM. Maybe something from Asus or HP.

Forgot to mention earlier that 12GB RAM is sometimes a bottleneck in my tasks(Docker, coding, even extended browsing). GPU takes 2GB from that so just 10GB system memory left. 16GB or higher is the way to go.

With all that said, $430 for this laptop is a really good deal.

Thanks. Good to know. 16 GB was the lowest I was willing to go with Windows.

Right? Pretty happy so far as well. I don't think I'll find something I like as much in the $400 to $450 range.

Looking for a cheap LT mainly to play MTG Arena because it doesn't work well on my old PC. This seems plenty adequate

Yeah It's not going to be for everyone with the separate charger, no back lit keyboard, etc. But I don't care about those things so it's a steal for me

Exactly. It works for me. I have been obsessively looking for laptops lately. In this price range I haven't seen a backlit keyboard with my requirements (touchscreen, 16GB, 300 nits, with a decent processor).

Separate charger? What do you mean? I ordered this laptop 2 days ago before I even saw it on Slickdeals.

I assume it means this has a proprietary charge port rather than USB-C
