Hi, and thanks for the review :)! I have been thinking of buying this PC for a while now. One quick question, you said this is a bit louder than the Acer Swift 3 in "heavy" load but how is it in idle mode? I don't think you mentioned it in this review. I mean when surfing the web, watching series/movies and so on (not gaming).

The games you tested are using the smaller gpu internal to the cpu. You needed to turn on performance mode on the laptops so it will use the dedicated GPU. You could have gotten 2 to 3 times the performance. That goes for most of your Zen2 laptops with dedicated GPUs.

The gaming performance is great: It can handle Civ 6 at 1080p 60 if you turn down settings and i was getting around 45 fps in Fallout 4 again at 1080p low. The build quality is very solid.

​@@thecassandraeffectvsperilo6754 I'm probably late (rlly sorry I couldn' t reply earlier), but I'll try to answer. I use this laptop regularly for work in Photoshop and Illustrator and it performs great! I've never encountered any problem while working in PS or doing illustrations. Good thing to know is that the display is only around 60% sRGB, so the colours aren't that accurate. As far as editing goes, I haven't tried it out as much yet, but from what I've tried it is definitely able to handle 1080p edit & render. Higher res. videos would most likely drop quite a bit of frames, but I think that's expected, considering the price of the laptop and it's components.

Of the hundreds of channels I've watched & now looked into.. you are ONE of less than I can count on one hand, unfortunately.... who actually does what is legally required to protect your viewers/consumers! For being what has become rare gems, rather than the norm... as far as living w/ integrity goes.. So, thank you for doing what everyone should be doing... Fully + properly disclosing what, where & how you should, when showing & talking about products. Your transparency is greatly appreciated! I wish more would follow your lead. As is, they are taking advantage of the very people they should be most loyal to & transparent with, imho. The viewers & consumers, who... in # & without, they wouldn't even have these opportunites; nor continue to. Sad & kind of a slap to the face to be deceived, lied to & taken advantage of.... just so they can better line their own pockets while trying to seem & present as genuine, not influenced in any way... content. They think viewers have an issue w/ sponsored content. NO.... we have an issue w/ sponsored content, free products, paid mentions, pre-approved reviews, affiliate/referral links, bias & connections to..... that aren't disclosed as such. Thanks again... for your honesty & for sharing your thoughts & opinions so WE can make better purchasing decisions. :) Stay safe & be well.

I'm fairly interested in the new redmi book 16 with the Ryzen H series processor. Being such a thin laptop, I find it interesting that they went with the full power 45w H series chips instead of the U series like the one found here. It seems like the screen could be pretty great for content creation or photo editing as well considering it's wide color gamut. You should do a review on it! Very few of the bigger tech channels cover the full spectrum of Chinese laptops unfortunately so it'd be nice to see a comprehensive reviewer like yourself do their take on one as unique as the redmi book 16! PS your videos are great, keep up the good work!!

The extra performance over Acer Swift 3 is due to 16GB memory compared to the 8gb in Acer. Unlike the Ryzen 3000 series which reserve fix amount memory from the Ram all the time, I noticed that these 4000 series initially reserve 512MB and that gets dynamically increased based on the Workload. You can see that in AMD Adrenaline driver that 512MB is reserved. My IdeaPad 5 was allocating over 3GB while running Withcher 3 since it has 16GB memory and it would be lower in Acer Swift 3 as it has only 8gb ram. Also, Lenovo let's the APU use up to 25W for longer duration when connected to power and that's another contributing factor as it allows both cpu and gpu to boost for longer duration.

Extra performance on Lenovo is mostly from limited sustained power limit (18W) on Acer 4700U, which is not enough for it to boost both CPU and iGPU, and also- from DDR4 3200 RAM which has lower latencies, than LPDDR4 3200 used in that Acer model.

Thing is, everyone likes these. They run well, but make 100% sure that you keep the warranty live.

Not even kidding here! I believe people/companies are catching on to how good this thing (and or the new Ryzen chip sets are) is and they are jacking the prices up. I have been researching for a few weeks and I have personally witnessed price bumps here and there. Typical. Great vid though :)

@@trendsource1627 This thing blows away every other laptop I have had! Only problem I had so far is the wifi was glitchy when switching between laptop mode and tablet mode. Did a driver/software update and no problems since. My wife got the new Air Mac and this thing burns it in everything except the screen which is better on Mac but also is 400 bucks more.

Just ordered an ipad pro so that I can use the apple pencil to draw digitally since it seems like the best tool for that, but if I didn't have enough money I would totally buy this laptop tablet combo. Seems like its serviceable in the drawing touchscreen category and also a pretty strong computer. Awesome review as always Lon!

Great video! I have a question, what laptop would you recommend? HP Envy x360 15" with the Ryzon 5 4500u and 256GB or the Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 14" also with the Ryzon 5 4500u but 512GB. Both have 8GB of RAM but the HP cost 100€ more. What would you recommend? Thanks

I think what is important is that an AC card and AX card don't have a price difference, so why not have it inbuilt? rather than open it your system and swap them out.

@@alpay389 Wifi 6 cards usually come with bluetooth 5 as well while this one has 4.2 by default, so you might see a benefit there as well. Though admittedly it's not a necessary upgrade for most people. It could also fix issues of wifi cutting out if you have that happening.

Basically it's a failure as a 2-in-1 because the keyboard speaker placement means rear firing sound in tablet and tent mode so it's easy to muffle the read sound if you place it on your lap, for instance. Or are there still smaller slits on the bottom that allow the sound to fire forward when in tablet and tent mode?

when buying this from lenovos website you have to select the backlit keyboard. It costs £10 more and is not the default. So when you customise the laptop you have to go to the Keyboard section at the bottom, select change and then press backlit keyboard. Its worth it.

This might be a stupid question, but when you say it can function as a tablet, does that mean the monitor can disconnect from the base and you can carry it around like a tablet (presumably on some kind of battery), or just that you can fold it in half so as to use like a tablet?

Very good review as usual. I wonder how is the thermal management in comparison with an intel chip equivalent. AMD cpus prior this generation of Rayzen had a reputation of running really hot. Are they still running hotter than intel cpus? Taking into consideration such a good performance of rayzen chips, at a lower price than equivalent intels, if the thermal management is similar... I may shift to AMD the next time.

Ryzen 4000 series runs much cooler than comparable Intel far more superior in efficiency. There's literally zero reason to get an Intel laptop unless you are buying something outside the processor itself like Intel one has the color you want that's not offered on AMD ones or certain Intel only GPu options that has nothing to do with the cpu itself.
