Previous generation of AMD Ryzen based laptop like Think E485/E585 was rather popular.
I will update here the newer gen models which are:

Thinkpad E495 (AMD Ryzen) - No review yet
Thinkpad E595 (AMD Ryzen) -

Pros
+very good input devices
+contrast-rich, bright IPS display
+good CPU performance
+fairly quiet
+good SSD
+GPU a lot faster than Intel UHD graphics
+very constant performance without drops
Cons
-only microSD reader
-GPU performance throttled (no dual-channel RAM)
-1x USB 2.0
-weak color-space coverage

Lenovo ThinkPad E595 Laptop Review

Thinkpad T495 (AMD Ryzen Pro) - No review yet
Thinkpad X395 (AMD Ryzen Pro) - No review yet

AMD Ryzen chips are unlike older generation, now most Ryzen APU chips offer well rounder performance for both CPU + GPU.
On par with Intel mobile chips while the integrated Radeon Vega graphics trash Intel UHD easily.

But for gaming discrete graphics will still outperform integrated Radeon graphics since it lack dedicated VRAM.
In SG the above are decent models whether for work, light gaming and etc.

The E series are budget while T and X are premium line.
Take note AMD Ryzen Pro features and cooling are different from
AMD Ryzen consumer.

Which to pick depend on your budget and usage.
Generally E series are decent enough.
Take note for what I know AMD based Thinkpad are sold online, have yet to see any retail shop selling it.

In SG there are other AMD Ryzen based laptop such as:
ASUS X512DA (*Uses HDD not SSD)
ASUS FX550DT Gaming laptop uses AMD H chips

No other models I have seen so far so AMD Ryzen laptop are rather rare.

Is it possible to update this post with the latest ryzen 4000U and H processors as well?

If you have a 1.2K budget, then go with 4600H with 1650ti or 1650 config

If you have higher budget like 2K, then go with 4800H with 1660 or 2060 config

Is 1TB SSD overkill compared to the recommended 512gb x2

Splitting into 2 separate 512GB for ssd is better

Cuz when SSd has bad sector or issues... the whole drive has issue... so if one 512gb spoil, at least still have another 512 gb to use

If the entire 1TB has issues, there goes your 1TB

Cuz SSD is flash memory which is different from HDD which is disk

 

[Henabi]

If you are gonna be using your laptop for content creation or work, go with SSD for windows OS bootup and HDD for your files

Right now my company is facing a lot of issues with SSD which are only 4-5 year old

I've waited for Yoga Slim 7 AMD till part 2 of the thread alr? and it still takes >8weeks shipping time...

Good news is 11th Gen has arrived, any reviews for Yoga 7i 14" 11th Intel? Shipping time 2 weeks!

haven't purchased, I'm put off by the uncertainty of the waiting time

The quoted >8weeks shipping time is just an estimate, most gotten it within 1-1.5months. Lead time for Legion more worst now, cso quoted 12 weeks lead time

I second this. Used to put my SSD as scratch disc for my video projects before. Was shocked at how much data is being written and read from the ssd. The performance is indeed better than using HDD, but i think its not worth having to replace your ssd in a few short years

The 8 weeks is their standard reply when you place an order. The shipping time usually will push forward to around 3~4 weeks based on feedback from all the buyers here.
