Realistically no one can guarantee stability on your laptop, lemon can happen

 

Ryzen 4000 laptops iGPU are pretty stable, only those with Nvidia GPUs (Optimus) might have some issues

Hi
I am thinking of buying a new laptop for my high-school studies. Laptop has to work with abitti/Gigabi-OS. It is a exam system, that prefers outdated hardware. So, my Latitude E6540 works fully with it. Modern laptops, not so much. I guess having to use one of the USB-ports for a WLAN dongle is fine, as long as I have two or more ports left. Off course, it needs to have gigabit LAN, and preferably HDMI. And a 100% keyboard with all of the function keys and dedicated numpad. Off course, with a 15,6 inch FHD display.
I have a couple of options. 
HP:s probook series seems to be a pretty good bet, and it is relativly affordable.
Speciflicfly the Probook 450 G7 and Probook 445 G7 

The first one has a 10th gen core i5 and the second has 4th gen ryzen 5 4500U


If I was looking for maximum performance, I would go with the ryzen. But that is not what I need. 
I need a laptop, that is not going to crash or have technical difficulties due to hardware problems. 
And dell is very much overprised here, and Lenovo´s BIOS hates ABITTI. 

Can you tell me, if AMD´s modern APU graphics are more stable than my desktop Rx 5700 xt, or the radeon HD 8790m

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)
