One 4700H(S) machine with a dGPU (and other parts without drivers) did not do so well: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/04/linux-on-laptops-asus-zephyrus-g14-with-ryzen-9-4900hs/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/04/linux-on-laptops-asu... Some of the 4700U laptops perform better than you'd think from the nominal 15W TDP. Partly just to be expected from the spec (still >4GHz single-core boost and 8C), and also seems most of these run at a 25W TDP-up when plugged in (often noisily so, under load). Would be nice to see these put into better designs; right now I'm mostly seeing 14-inch 1080p machines. Previous gens of AMD chips had the same issue, but it's especially annoying when, in terms of performance, battery life, and weight, you can see the elements for a great laptop are there.
