I am pretty Happy how much I paid for this laptop $499.
It featured:
-AMD Ryzen 2500U with VEGA 8 GPU
-4GB DDR4 2400MHz
-1TB SATA HD 2.5”
Those are the things I like about the laptop.
I upgraded and put in a 970 EVO 500GB, 8GB of DDR4 more (12GB now) and 860 QVO 1TB.
For the dislike...
-TN 1080p 15.6” screen
- Runs at 70 C during normal operation
These are the things I dislike.
I am soon gonna replace the thermal paste and adjust how the laptop stand cooling fan direct air properly next. Right now the two slim 80mm Direct air into the one opening.... I think I should make one exhaust and one push. Separate them properly with some foam tape to channel the air.
It was hard adjusting to the poor TN panel from my old IPS panel on my older Dell 15 from 2014 with a i3-5005U. But I try to draw graphics as fast as possible because the screen kinda bothers my eyes lol
I wear blue light filtering prescription lenses with transition lenses too.
I tried looking for a IPS panel but that is for the Dell model being sold at Costco with Touch Display. Those use the newer 40 pin cable so I am outta luck.
I am gonna figure out how to calibrate the TN panel properly but I am pleased with this purchase.
It is now selling for $650 at BestBuy.
I was wanting to buy another laptop/desktop after returning my Dell G5 because it was too bulky and YT videos did not play right ...... Wanted to use my evo 970 so bad because it makes a huge difference for me running VMs and saving Huge 80mb+ adobe illustrator files for graphics I do. I run the main OS and VM on the EVO 970 and saving files on the QVO. It helps.
