Why didn't you opt for the 65w charger?
It's just +$2.

It is +$16

Can use 2 ecoupons?

I doubt so

 

[GrandJedi]

Then how to get $690... I already applied the AMD18 coupon, how to apply SGNIGHT coupon?

Yup. Thanks ^_^

Understand that the battery is non-removable. Did anyone try to remove it and power up the laptop?

Why would you want to do that?
If battery lifespan is a concern, you can opt to limit the percentage of full charge via Lenovo Vantage.

Should have gone for 16gb for dual channel I feel. Ryzen performance really quite dependent on ram.

Is 128gb enough tho?

More for kids online work. The one year old ideapad 320 AMD A9 is too slow even for youtube and school work. A pain to use. Lesson learned, no SSD,8GB and FHD no talk....

Should still have gone for a larger ssd tho. Read and write will slow down when the ssd approaches capacity, which will really slow down the laptop alot.
Installing a couple programs on top of the space required for Windows 10, will take up alot of that 128gb alr.

Use firefox with flash plugin and update driver from AMD.
The Radeon R5 should have HEVC decoding to do FHD
On google chrome with R5 at most FHD depending on CPU performance.
Below is R5 with firefox with flash plugin on FHD

If you want h264 in youtube chrome you have to install h264ify to force youtube to use H264 decoding

My existing is a Acer Amd A4-5000, 4 GB ram.
Watching youtube is no problem.
As for applications, it is a bit slow though.

If you want, you can cancel your order and reorder again.
128 Gb for SSD is kind of small. Either you up it to 256 Gb or top it up with a 500 Gb hdd. Bear in mind that the SDD will die faster than the hdd.

In my desktop which uses SSD, the OS just pop up the warning a few days back that the SSD has error. Upon using a SSD analysis tool, indeed, going to die soon.

Agreed. More RAM is essential for all types of work, be it simple or complex. However, cost is always a factor if budget is tight.
