I've found this laptop with an 8c 16t Ryzen 7, 16gb ram and a 512gb SSD for $928 USD (brand new - education discount). Is that a good deal and would this be a good laptop for school?

Does both USB C support video out? how is the Power TDP while both USB C connected to display out?

I have this machine and I can confirm display out works on both ports, and so does charging. I use a usb-c to DisplayPort cable and it runs my 4K monitor with no issues.

Overall a great machine! Also linux support is great on kernel 5.8. I'm running Pop!OS 20.10 (Ubuntu based)

Fcking finally, I've been waiting for more recognition and reviews of this laptop.

Although notebookcheck's score system kinda sucks, this laptop is quite better than what you'd expect (minus the awfully reflective display), especially if you configure it with the 4800U.

Since I can't post links here yet, just search on google for "Ideapad s540 13 ryzen 7 4800u vs 10710U review" and click on the first link. There's an awesome in-depth review & comparison of the 4800U model and the i7 10710U + MX350 model.

Too bad you can only get that ryzen model from some Asian websites, sometimes even under the name "Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro 13" or something like that.

Cool but where can I buy in USA ?, I am located at Mexico, so many models never make it here, some us sites ship to Mexico.
