        Also if it matters to you:

        AMD Ryzen 7 5700U

        • Uses multithreading
        • Has NX bit

        AMD Ryzen 7 5825U

        • No multithreading
        • No NX bit

        Multithreading technology (such as Intel's Hyperthreading or AMD's Simultaneous Multithreading) provides increased performance by splitting each of the processor's physical cores into virtual cores, also known as threads. This way, each core can run two instruction streams at once.

        NX bit helps protect the computer from malicious attacks.

        • Hank Scorpion on 21/05/2022 - 12:13
          +3

          The 5825U is a 8Core / 16 thread so yes it uses SMT (Simultaneous Mutli Threading or HyperThreading on intel).

          The processor also has NX bit

          Source:

        • FabMan on 21/05/2022 - 14:27
          +1

          Yeah, NX Bit has been dropped by AMD since the beginning of Zen as it was an old method of patching / blocking exploits in old infrastructure. AMD Ryzen 7 5700U shouldn't list that as being a feature of it.

          • Hank Scorpion on 21/05/2022 - 14:47
            +4

            @FabMan: AMD are listing it as "AMD Enhanced Virus Protection (NX bit)" now which suggests it incorporates the functionality of NX bit but in a new solution.

            In either case that verus.com link has incorrect information in regard to both NX and SMT.

            Leafwalker if you read this don't be disheartened by your first comment, take it as a learning exercise. Always try and go to the original source to fact check, in this case the AMD specification page is the best place to check.

    How good are the amd ryzen processors compared to the intel cores? Need to buy laptop for work but haven't been keeping up with the trends. Last time i checked a few years ago, amd was still not that good.

    • scud70 on 21/05/2022 - 09:38
      +1

      They are good, on par or better in a lot of cases like core count or efficiency (VS Intel).

      • pichxlonco on 21/05/2022 - 10:00

        So, the price difference is mostly a "brand" thing. I was looking at the thinkpads for work, at a max of $2000 but most are AMD so was a little bit worried

        • scud70 on 21/05/2022 - 10:18
          +7

          Understandable, AMD has had the unreliable label in the past for good reasons, the 3000 series laptop chips were pretty ordinary VS Intel but 4000 closed the gap and the 5000 took the lead in core and efficiency, the 6000 is very efficient per watt but the 12th gen intels are slightly ahead in performance they can be a bit more power hungry though. I think work wise either 12th gen Intel 5000 or 6000 AMD are all great.

            @scud70: Then you so much for the explanation. That really helps. Doing a quick Google search provided me with information overload, do ended up worst

            • shellshocked on 21/05/2022 - 11:25
              +3

              @pichxlonco: If you are looking at better battery life, AMD CPUs since the 4000 series are more efficient and have better performance per watt. Ryzen 5000 and 6000 series CPU have increased efficiency even further.
              In general AMD Ryzen integrated graphics is also a lot better than Intel. There are plenty of videos on YouTube demonstrating it's capabilities.
              Intel 12 gen do provide a good performance bump in bursts, with their P cores, but at the expense of performance per watt and battery life. They need a TDP of 50w or higher to be competitive, whilst AMD Ryzen performs well at 15w to 50w TDP and is better for smaller form factor laptops.

    how do lenovo compare to Asus? like thinkpads to vivopros and gaming Asus laptops?

      looking for a 1TB SSD laptop.. with 16GB ram or 32 ram.

      • ChineseElectronics on 21/05/2022 - 09:20

        Buy ASUS if you can, ASUS laptops are generally great, from personal retail experience Lenovo laptops are the most problematic and annoying to deal with (especially regarding their service centre).

        • ntt on 21/05/2022 - 10:59

          Lenovo is Chinese owned company, bought from IBM. I'm using Lenovo Ideapad ultrabook for nearly 10 years, it's still running great. Beside it doesn't have enough ram (8GB ram) for a up-to-date tasks with Chrome, and its driver support is crappy, they're generally great. I dropped it many times, soup-pouring, and it's still working!.

          • ChineseElectronics on 21/05/2022 - 11:28

            @ntt: Can’t speak about older Lenovo ideapads but the modern ones are generally trash. I’m seeing them with keyboard failures, motherboard failures, the odd battery issue, etc.

    just a heads up.. bought a lenovo from a recent sale, fan sounded like a jet turbine. Lenovo sent out a rep, said they weren't sure what the problem was BUT they wanted to replace parts. Parts were on back order for 3months minimum they said, so i got a refund instead

    Hi TA, just wondering if Xiaoxin Pro 14 with AMD 6800/6900U/H/HS will come out anytime soon?

    Had a Xiaoxin Pro with 4800U and I liked it., but need a new laptop for niece, but can't find any Ultra portable laptop with 6000 AMD CPUs.

    • raisinberry777 on 21/05/2022 - 13:15

      There's a bunch of Lenovo stuff with 6000 series stuff rolling out now (most of it announced this week) - I'd imagine it will be rolled out across the range soon enough.

      I think the H series chips are coming out first with U series products to follow shortly after.

  • jetfar on 21/05/2022 - 12:56

    I have a 2yo AMD E14 (4000 series Ryzen 7). It's a fantastic laptop for the price. I will upgrade it to the new T14 AMD when they come out later in the year.

    • cgb on 21/05/2022 - 18:17

      Same! I'm coming up to 2 years now and can't fault it, I use Linux and hardware, power management (suspend) "just works", battery life is fantastic. I would consider replacing it with this offer but there is really no need. Only concern might be the chassis flex and lack of rigidity/durability. You can't grab it by one corner without it creaking and fearing you'll crack the screen. But that hasn't affected me using it as a daily driver in a IT role.

  • Charlie Dont Surf on 21/05/2022 - 15:51

  • Dogsrule on 21/05/2022 - 17:12

    I appreciate the deal and acknowledge it's a good price for 2022, but I sure miss the days of 2018 when you could spec up an equivalent E485 for ~$1000.

    Damn inflation.

    • 777 on 21/05/2022 - 19:58

        Yeah I think the days of tech continually getting cheaper are behind us.

        Looks like I'll be hanging onto my E485 for a while longer.

  • ozbjunkie on 22/05/2022 - 10:09

    Would anyone comment on whether this could handle 4k x265 output. I understand that's probably a CPU dominant task given the decompression.

  • Chopel on 22/05/2022 - 12:07

    Will the cashrewards apply when using the code on this?

  • Hellolol on 22/05/2022 - 12:32

    I have an old X1 Carbon gen1 which I love but sadly after 7 years the battery doesn’t last more than 5 minutes (even after replacement) and the screen is shot.

    Would this be similar form factor and style and thickness?
