AMD Ryzen Notebook discussion | Intel or AMD for notebook? AMD Excellent CPU+GPU performance, sharing concurrent models reviews.

I remember there were some discussions that ASUS laptop memory is soldered, which will limit your option to upgrade memory by yourself.

Acer and Lenovo tend to give better value for money. I have gone through many brands of laptops and they are more or less similar in terms of durability. Hence, I recommend looking out for the features that you want instead of brands.

If you are more willing to take some risk on the warranty, the Black Friday sale at Amazon (US) could throw up very good deals e.g (non-OLED). https://www.amazon.com/Acer-SFX14-42G-R607-Creator-LPDDR4X-Backlit/dp/B09R8ZHZSD/ref=sr_1_4?crid=6QGZTGZI144L&keywords=laptop+amd+ryzen+7+nvidia+3050&qid=1700349151&sprefix=laptop+amd+ryzen+7+nvidia+3050,aps,309&sr=8-4&th=1

Thanks.

I do see the soldered one, and also saw that soldered one gives better performance or something? But I guess you're right, if they only have single slot with 16gb, I could upgrade it by buying 32gb single piece myself and replace (thus the upgrade). Having said that, I don't want to limit myself to the models just because of the RAM itself so at least there more comparison to go about.

Feature wise, I kinda feel that most are about the same as well isn't it? Not sure if I missed anything, or what you mean by feature.

I have bad experience with Acer long time back, but I have heard that Acer is better nowadays. Was using Asus previously and it was alright. I'm a light laptop user, since I use desktop more than laptop. Maybe I should go for lower cost over better features?

I do value local warranty though, so don't think I'll get oversea deal.

Features = Normal/OLED screens, keyboard layout, travel and backlit, number and type of ports e.g. USB, number of upgradable slots.

I have a mid-range Acer now for light office work, and I feel that it is okay. Lower cost allows you to upgrade more often and you don't pay a premium for the latest technology.

16 GB and 32 GB RAM are overkill for light use.

I see, for the features you mentioned, except for RAM, don't really have too much of a preference for now. Any decent and reasonable feature will do (e.g 2 x usb, 1 x hdmi, etc)

Well, I still need to account for using it to do a some work which requires a higher than usual amount of RAM, hence, 16 is the minimum that it can go. Any lower will be quite useless for me. The others can give in to some degree but not RAM.

https://www.amazon.sg/Acer-SFG14-42...0-Graphics/dp/B0C8Z2QY2M?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 acer swift go 14 oled with ryzen 7840u $1249 - $50 = $1199 save at checkout. from acer store sg amazon. slim and light.

Or you can check it out on shopee on black friday with coupons to see if it can be cheaper than amazon but i doubt it will be https://shopee.sg/-OLED-Display-Ace...b3&xptdk=e4d262c0-4f69-4dda-9fdd-a0749bd7edb3

You can pick the intel or lower specced amd 7640u too if you prefer but 7840u is hands down the best cpu for power efficiency and graphics performance. the intel ones dont come close in terms of integrated gpu. as for the 7640u variant, its also not bad but the 7840u's integrated gpu is between 20-50+% better.

I bought the above from taobao during 11/11 flash sale at $1325.

7840h, OLED 16" and 4050 rtx.

Came with Chinese windows and need to reinstall English windows (got a shock that need to manually side load wifi drivers upon first windows boot up)

Can just download all drivers from Acer website under swift x 16. Works perfectly. Just that no warranty.
