Ryzen Laptop

[mikeschua5]

I'm looking at 3 ryzen laptops within  a similar price range what do you recommend I get. 

Will mostly be mostly used for: web browsing, league of legends,  Microsoft office, watching Youtube, some slight Photoshop and Premiere.

All of them have more cpu.  The intel is 4/8.  Use case becomes important.

Model wise: Swift 3

 

If want a decent display: Yoga 6

There’s not much public data on 11xxx atm.  There was one leak from Andand tech because some reseller in the EU released chips early which allowed anyone who bought one to legally break embargo.  The impression developed from that implied that 11xxx wasn’t much better, and possibly slightly worse than 10xxx.  It may all be a piece of marketing misdirection of course because intel seemed more happy about the leak than they should.  10xxx doesn’t do a few things that 11xxx will.  The question is do you care?  I suspect myself it won’t matter for around 5 years, for gaming, after which who knows?

 

Various intel CPUs come with different iGPUs though and if you’re using one it can matter a lot.  Iirc Xe was a big jump, but some Xes may be crippled.  I don’t know.

Derp.  I was thinking about desktop 11xxx.  Laptop 11xxx is supposed to be somewhat better in terms of relative speed.  It doesn’t beat ryzen3 but it does beat Ryzen2.  None of the differences are huge though.
