      There is the ideapad slim 5 pro 14. It's coming out very soon.

    • Alva10 on 08/03/2023 - 20:50

      The Yoga Slim 6i is $1229 with a 13th gen i5, I'm seriously tossing between the 2.

      • shellshocked on 08/03/2023 - 21:24
        +3

        Only if you want a 14" laptop

        1. The 13th gen i5 CPU only has only 4P cores compared to the 8P cores on the Ryzen.
        2. It's max TDP is 64w, so not good for battery life.
        3. Screen is lower res, lower brightness and only 60hz
        4. The RAM is lower spec 5200Mhz
        5. XE graphics is worse compared to the Radeon 680m

        In Passmark the Ryzen CPU scores 24000. The 13th gen i5 only 17000.

          Wow thanks for the info. Didn't realise the performance difference is that big. I am looking at 14" or 13" and ideally closer to 1kg. Was looking at the Yoga 6 and shame it only has 7730U with Vega.

    • whatsnail on 09/03/2023 - 01:53

      This is a 35-54W CPU, I'm not sure if it will be used in 13" laptops, the cooling required could make it quite thick.

      • GregRust on 08/03/2023 - 19:07

        Sure they are, we can compare performance. Base MBA is $1294 so under $100 difference.

        Yes specs are different, but how does their performance differ?

        • robinbanks on 08/03/2023 - 19:12

          Broadly you can figure that out for yourself by checking CPU benchmarks. Just Google CPU compare and check it out for yourself

        • shellshocked on 08/03/2023 - 19:14
          +2

          Well if you are using Mac specific apps the M1 will be better. However, if you are using Windows/Linux or other OS specific apps and casual gaming this will be better option.

          You can use Passmark to see where this CPU sits vs a Mac CPU.

          https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+7735HS&…

          It scores over 24000, whilst the M1 Max scores 22000

        MediaTek wifi driver would drop the card regularly. Needed to do a network reset.

        Battery would require a pinhole reset regularly.

        L13 Yoga with R5. It took 4 months for a BIOS update for the battery. The wifi is still not stable.

          Yep, I had the same issue with the MediaTek wifi on a different model AMD Lenovo.

          !$!!##! frustrating bug.

          To fix, search the web for "MediaTek-FORCED-10x64-79xx_3.03.01.0508-drp" - these drivers work.

    • witheredcouch on 08/03/2023 - 19:14

      I've had a Slim 7 Pro X (6900HS) and a Slim 7 Pro (5800H) and have had zero driver or stability issues on either? A lot less than the constant issues I had with my old Intel XPS 15 (circa 2016)

    • SpaceNinja on 09/03/2023 - 08:41

      No issues with Lenovo 6800HS for over a year.

    32GB option is additional $285, expensive,

    • RedHab on 09/03/2023 - 07:07

      That it is, Lenovo copying Apple's pricing model.

      • BlinkyBill on 09/03/2023 - 13:30

        In the previous models for the extra money you also got a processor bump to a Ryzen 9. That is the one I have here, IdeaPad Slim 5 Pro with Ryzen 9 and 32GB. Super happy with it (almost 2 years old), try to justify getting a newer one, but this thing has been great so far.

  • ChickenDinner123 on 08/03/2023 - 18:21

    Is there an option for dedicated GFX cards??? I know the last gen one could be specced with a 3050

          You'll find it common with a lot of newer AMD laptops.

          They'll miss out on discreet cards, USB PD, cooling options… The list goes

          There used to be articles about how manufacturers were even caught putting fake air channels that made the airflow worse in early Zen2 CPU's.

          Would not be surprised if Intel is spending money to encourage vendors to under-engineer their AMD offerings.

    • Vater Woods on 08/03/2023 - 19:10

      Why though? 680M run small games perfectly.
      And next upgrade should be 3060 or 3070.
      3050 is just a side upgrade, no point.

      3050 didn't sell last year for this exact reason, and all gaming laptops with 3050 don't sell because it's rubbish.

      • ChickenDinner123 on 08/03/2023 - 19:12

        Well it still is 2x the performance of a 680m. Last year the upgrade was only like $100 bux which is a cheap price to pay.

      • Wonderfool on 08/03/2023 - 21:17

        3050 is now top 10 userbase in steam. It's not 3060 level hot cake, but 3050 did sell.

        I've personally prefer 680m but that's because i care for battery life waaaaay more than gpu power.

    Jesus Christ is the ryzen 7 series confusing as (profanity). Just call it 6800u, the price of the laptop is overall cheaper than a 6800u equipped laptop anyways.

    • shellshocked on 08/03/2023 - 21:40
      +1

      Because it's not a 15w 6800u. It's a 35w HS CPU . The CPU stepping is different and it's supports some new features which the previous generation doesn't.

      • Brrrrt on 09/03/2023 - 00:58
        +3

        it doesnt…the other redditor must have confused between the 6800hs and 6800u. Apart from a 0.05ghz max boost clock, the 7735hs offers nothing extra over the 6800hs.

        its an intentionally confusing naming scheme on AMDs part and should be received just as badly as nvidia did with 8gb 3060 and 4080 12gb. no average consumer is going to know when they paid premium for a last gen part which in turn is just a refreshed 5800HS made in 6nm nodes and with RDNA2. Of course, this deal is still good, but thats on lenovo, amd doesnt get my upvote here.
