Quote from: william blake on April 28, 2020, 03:03:07I've provided you with plentiful documentation for this previously, if you either don't remember or choose to ignore it, that's on you. Sadly there are no proper published reviews of U-series laptops yet (likely because they are only just trickling into the market), but there is enough leaked data from reputable sources to make the numbers I quoted relatively safe. Of course the TDP of the system will play into this, and a 25W configuration is likely to game much better than a 15W one.Quote from: Valantar on April 27, 2020, 23:14:53you guys all the same. never learn, never listen, always ignoring all the data, opinions, logic, never brings any data to the table( yes, where is your links to some testing). all integrated graphics believers are not users, at list not expirienced users, but just holywar warriors.
Renoir Vega 8 with LPDDR4X outperforms the MX 250/330 and is ~5% on average behind the MX350. Even with the slower DDR4 version, why would you want a dGPU?
i guess ill skip this religious point this time.

Quote from: Valantar on April 27, 2020, 23:16:50we are talking about what you can buy from them.
You can combine any size DIMM with any size soldered RAM
Quote from: william blake on April 27, 2020, 11:39:30You can combine any size DIMM with any size soldered RAM, the only drawback is that only 2x the soldered capacity will run in dual channel. Still, stick a 16GB SODIMM in there and you have 20GB. It's not ideal, but you certainly aren't limited to 8GB.Quote from: Aegis on April 27, 2020, 10:40:47
This is considered as a budget lineup. What do you expect?
lineup? no. 8gb is the top option for the lower model in the lineup, where 4gb is soldered already. 4+4, you know.
and if 8gb is soldered, we have an option for 8+8.
seems pretty logical for me.

according to psref
all renoir ideapads-igpu only. lntel ideapads-igpu, both hd and and iris, mx330, mx350.
same old story.
Quote from: Padmakara on April 27, 2020, 14:22:20Nice review. It must be the first normal laptop from Lenovo I have seen in a long time with a 8:5 screen. Even the pictures look like it actually is 8:5 and not just a marketing cock up. It just looks much better than 16:9. Problem is that I can't see it anywhere. German website doesn't have any 13" version and UK has it, but with previous generation processors. I guess they're coming? Unfortunately, the 14 and 15 still seem to be 16:9.
You have here 4800u review of Lenovo next.lab501.ro/notebook/english-lenovo-ideapad-s540-13are-vs-13iml-amd-ryzen-7-4800u-vs-intel-core-i7-10710u
Quote from: chxei on April 27, 2020, 19:33:43brexit. pretty fair.
So they removed option in UK to opt out windows, so we have to pay 90$ more. cool
Quote from: Padmakara on April 27, 2020, 12:16:22German configurator still has that option. It's interesting. The hardware options are pretty good value all around, but Windows are relatively expensive compared to what they commonly offer on ThinkPads. The SSDs are also curious with three 512 GB options. 2242 TLC, 2280 QLC and 2280 TLC, with price increasing in that order. What's the benefit of the more expensive 2280 TLC compared to the 2242 TLC one? Configurator doesn't say (at least I didn't see anything distinguishing them aside from size).
Looks like Lenovo got smart and now they force you to buy with win10 home.
Yesterday I checked for a friend and it was possible, -90£ free dos

Having that second thread is equivalent to 30% of a single processor. So an eight core processor has just eight cores but an 8-core multi-threaded processor has the equivalent of 10.4 cores. In other words a multi-threaded processor has his much extra CPU as an entire i7 mobile CPU from just three years ago!
