- rsynnott 7y agoSure, as I say it'll be interesting to see if Zen 2 improves things. However, as things stand today, it's not surprising that AMD high end laptops are rare, because they're not very good when they are made. Zen 2 could absolutely change that, of course, if AMD's claims work out. (AFAIK the memory difference was because the AMD chip used didn't support LPDDR4.)
