As you mentioned, AMD laptops are gimped, either by an inferior screen, lower amount of memory (imagine 8GB limit for an 8-core Ryzen or 16GB limit for a dual core i3) or some other specification is not up to high end standard.

- neogodless 6y agoMy understanding is that it is now legal for OEMs to implement Thunderbolt on AMD laptops, though it may cost more since it's not baked into the CPU. Of course, no OEMs have taken the opportunity to do so yet.
- neogodless 6y agoThe HP Omen 15 has a solid 300-nit 97% sRGB screen, 70Wh battery, and dual channel 16GB. There's also the HP ENVY x360 with available 400-nit/1000-nit screens paired with 16GB and an 8 core Ryzen 7 4700U. Both a bit pricey but I'm glad they exist. I agree the vast majority of AMD laptops have unacceptable compromises baked in. I can't help but believe this will change now that the APUs are arguably on par for games and massively more efficient for other tasks.
- bitL 6y agoThose HPs are unfortunately still just 1080p (though one is 144Hz). I haven't used notebooks with that resolution since 2012.
- neogodless 6y agoHa well my eyesight is awful so for me the 1080p is a blessing, especially for battery. But I can't blame you for preferring the crisp screens.
