We've yet to see a proper business notebook with those Ryzen H series APUs. So far, the manufactures have been eager to put it into gaming machines with a discrete GPU on board.
- neogodless 6y agoDepending on use case, I would expect the Ryzen U series to end up on thin and light business notebooks. 8 cores, 15W TDP, expecting fantastic battery life. But I'm still wondering when one of these OEMs will tackle Thunderbolt ports. From what I've read it's not as easy with AMD, but certainly possible, and up to the OEM's discretion.
- greenknight 6y agoWhen USB4 standards come into play, which will be in 1-2 years time. USB4 contains all of thunderbolt3 features, even if it is not 'certified' to be called thunderbolt3.
- ngcc_hk 6y agoExternal gpu in the case we need it would require thunderbolt?!
- neogodless 6y agoStumbled across this tonight... this is Lenovo marketing so take it with a grain of salt, but given what we've seen so far, I wouldn't be surprised. > 14 hours of battery > WiFi 6 > 3.1 lbs Under 15 mm / 0.6" thick https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/coming-soon/IdeaPad-Slim-7-14ARE05/p/88IPS701400 https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/coming-soon/IdeaPad-Slim-7-14AR...
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoAaaaand for HDMI, they just say "HDMI". 8K TVs are coming. You can get one for $2500 right now: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-55-class-led-q900-series-4320p-smart-8k-uhd-tv-with-hdr/6355633.p https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-55-class-led-q900-serie... Can we PLEASE get HDMI 2.1? Laptops hardly offer HDMI 2.0.
- riffraff 6y agois there even content which is 8k? It seems to me we're barely starting to have 4k content ATM.
- keymone 6y agoI’m waiting for 16k tv so I can finally tile 4 4K streams on it.
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoPeople said this about 4k. Between gaming and having a huge monitor for work, I do not care about movies being in 8k. 8k, like 4k, is for gaming.
- Joeri 6y agoEyes don’t have the visual acuity for 8K TV’s at normal sizes (sub 100in) to make any sense. On top of that, there is no content and given how little 4k content there is it will be years before there is a meaningful amount of content. Regular cinema is 2k or 4k. There is very little reason to move beyond 4k, especially in the living room. HDR on the other hand has plenty of room for improvement.
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoThat's ridiculous, why do people like high DPI screens then? 8k on a 55" TV would have lots of real estate and lots of DPI for very nice fonts.
- Joeri 6y agoYou don't put your eyes 30 cm from your TV. It's about angular distance between pixels. At 3 meters, a normal viewing distance, normal eyes cannot see the difference between 4K and 8K on a 55 inch TV.
- sharken 6y agoThe Lenovo Yoga Slim 7-14ARE has the 4800U configured as a 25W part with a battery life around 10 hours.

- intsunny 6y agoEven more baffling is that NONE of these new laptops are 13in with high pixel density displays.
- josteink 6y agoMaybe the market just isn't asking for them? High-densisity displays has a cost in term of increased battery level to drive the display, not to mention the associated GPU. Why take the cost, if nobody is really asking for it? Anecdote: I may consider a "downgrade" from my current 2K laptop display to a standard 1080p display in my next laptop, because at 14" that really is enough. I’m certainly not going to limit myself to 2K+ devices only.
- disiplus 6y agoi have a 14" with a 16:9 1920 and a 13" with a 3:2 2160 screen, you can barely notice the difference, and with linux and fractional scaling being p.i.t.a i prefer the 14"1080 screen, the 13" i cannot run at 100% its just to small at 2160x1440. i also have a macbook 15.6" that i run at 1920. that is perfect for me. the 4k makes more sense to me at a desktop 27" monitor, but at laptop all those pixels are lost.
- josteink 6y ago> with linux and fractional scaling being p.i.t.a Off topic, but when using Wayland-based window-managers like Sway, fractional scaling is really well supported and works flawlessly. It can even work on a per-display basis in a mixed multi-monitor setup. In fact, I find it superior to Windows in that regard.
