It's a refresh of the last gen model. Technically, the 14" Motile M142 was the "rebrand" (OEM) of the TongFang (ODM) PF4PU1F (P for Picasso) and the new one is the TongFang PF4NU1F (N for Renoir). It's been availabl

The Eluktronics is a GK5/GK7 TongFang - same ODM but a totally different chassis (for use w/ gaming dGPUs). Eluktronics mentioned a while back they might be selling their own version of the PF5 but I haven't heard an update r

The trackpad is decent. Roughly centered under the home keys. Plastic but pretty smooth (about 80% the size and 80% the smoothness of a late model MBP13). It's a physical clickpad that feels fine, and recognizes left, middle and right

There are only a handful of AMD options worth mentioning and availability for models is very regional. Those without a dGPU are the Lenovo S540-13ARE (4800U but has dual-fan/dual-heatpipe cooling and runs at a sustained 38W), these Ton

This particular laptop doesn’t have USB-C DisplayPort support either. It does have Power Delivery though, I’ve measured up to 90W.

For those interested in this or the Tuxedo Pulse 15 or Schenker VIA 15 Pro (all based off of the same barebones TongFang PF5NU1G), I have one and I’ve been doing a pretty thorough review here: https://www.notion.so/lhl/

I too just got a Renoir laptop (the 8C16T Ryzen 7 4800H) and its performance is truly impressive. It scores SC:1254 and MC:8269 on Geekbench 5 [1], within spitting distance of my desktop Ryzen 7 3700X workstation performance of SC: 1319 and

Doing a search by laptop spec [1], there is exactly one laptop model, the Lenovo Legion Y740S-15IMH [2] that has an i7-10875H CPU, a 4K display, and no dGPU. Sadly, it seems to have pretty limited region availability so far (see the PSREF l

This laptop is a Tongfang chassis and it’s basically the same laptop as the Schenker Via 15. Someone already linked to the comprehensive Notebookcheck review, but here’s a review of how the Schenker plays out of the box with Linux: https:

You can check out Slimbook (ES based) which has some nice Clevo ultrabook models (Intel-only). For those in the US, IMO System76 seems to be providing the most value add from the Linux system vendors these days.

Clevo and Tongfang are the ODMs for most of these white label laptops. I assume minimum orders are in the hundreds if not thousands of units, which is the main reason not to buy direct. That and you’ll have no warranty or other support, hav

Yeah, certain countries seem to be doing a very good job at keeping the spread at bay. SK is doing the best job at mitigation. TW, HK, and SG have so far been very effective at containment. CN dropped to the ball to start, but it turns out
