      It's OK from those reviews on YouTube, but at the end of the day it is still an integrated graphics, cannot compete with dedicated graphics.

          +12

          Dedicated means that you've got a separate chip (a GPU, or Graphical Processing Unit) providing the graphics. Integrated effectively means that the CPU does both the normal processing and the graphical processing.

            @Jec: Also, it should be noted that with integrated graphics, they heavily rely on the main memories speed. Hence if the memory speed of this laptop is high, the graphics performance should not be too bad.

      Not a gaming laptop. Dedicated GPU required for many / most games IMO.

                  @Void: it does, any built in graphics be it intel or AMD benefit from dual channel setup.

                  I run Half Life 2 which shares engine with CS:GO on my backup laptop and I get 70+ fps on Shader/Texture/Detail all set to high on 1080p resolution. on battery power, too.

                  that's a machine running crappy i3-7130u with Intel HD 620 on board, with dual channel DDR4-2133 2x4GB

                  @Void: This video shows side-by-side dual/single channel benchmark runs for Intel HD 620, which is close in spec to your chipset; in this case, dual channel gives 2x FPS.

                    When I used to do PS on my old laptop (6teh gen intel lappie with dual core), CPU is the bottleneck for PS, and integrated GPU (CPU) is the bottleneck for games on low setting.

        • Joxer on 04/06/2020 - 20:43

          At low settings perhaps it'll run, but it won't be amazing. Think of it like an older low end GPU.

        • Kontiki on 06/06/2020 - 00:30

          Yeah I run Warzone on mine. Runs OK if you cap FPS at 30. Needs low settings. Full HD works but I prefer 720p.

          Power settings need to be set to full, else it crashes.

          Check this demo: https://youtu.be/fhHaebZuslw

    • Kontiki on 06/06/2020 - 00:28

      It's not too bad (I have the Ryzen 3500U with Vega 8) but if you need it for gaming, I'd recommend to keep looking for a dedicated GPU. There have been a few deals for about $100 more with a decent nVidia card.

      I play COD: Warzone, GTA V and Planet Coaster on mine. They run fine, but COD especially needed tweaking with the settings, and keep everything on low detail. Honestly for the money I paid for it, was just happy that they worked at all.

    • xrailgun on 30/05/2020 - 21:17

      at what % does it become a good display? 45% sounds awfully low but I don't know anything about this metric.

      • bndr on 30/05/2020 - 21:24
        +4

        screens with good color cover 100% srgb, the 45% color gamut metric they use is NTSC I believe, for comparison 100% Srgb = 72%NTSC

        • shabaka on 30/05/2020 - 22:48
          +2

          yes, 72% NTSC is full sRGB coverage (although not really, specs often say 72% NTSC but sRGB is only 90 something percent covered).

          really, unless you do web design, or care about the quality of your photos a lot, 45% NTSC will actually be enough.

          movies are noticeably nicer with a color accurate screens though

          • Deviner on 31/05/2020 - 01:55

            @shabaka: This has been a pretty informative line of comments, thanks!

            Can you calibrate the colours to improve this or are you stuck with what you've got?

            • shabaka on 31/05/2020 - 07:07
              +3

              @Deviner: yes and no.

              no in a sense that if a screen is only capable of covering 45% of colour space, no calibration will widen its capabilities.

              yes in a sense that it's still beneficial to go through calibration process to improve colour reproduction. a calibrated 45% screen can look much better.

              in Melbourne here's a place that hires out calibrators. it costs 11 bucks for half a day, although calibration process really takes 20 minutes. of you do it, do it right and create at least 3 profiles for different white points (cool white, daylight, warm white). ever noticed how your screen looks a bit yellowish or blueish under different light conditions? switching between profiles will most definitely address that.

    The Notebookcheck website says the AMD 4500U performance is "roughly in between that of the Core i7-8565U and Core i7-10710U — two high-end Intel processors found on some flagship laptops like the Dell XPS 13 series."

    • zrmx on 31/05/2020 - 09:48

      The 8565U is a 4 cores 8 threads chip, while the i7 10710U is 6 cores 12 threads chip. The 4500U is 6 cores 6 threads, it is in between due to overall less threads for multi core applications, however in single threaded tasks should be similar. The Ryzen 4600U would perform quite well and on par, if not better, than the 10710U.

        The 3500U almost matches the i7 already

    Wouldn't this get stopped at customs for GST or does amazon US include it?

          Amazon is good in that aspect. Bloody fleabay charges a lot for their global shipping program. Easily 17% of total price for GST and "admin" cost.

            @[Deactivated]: That's because it's a profit centre - and not run by ebay. They sold off the exclusive rights to another company, who of course then charge their monopoly pricing because they paid ebay for rights to it.

            All about the money.

          not really, the education store Ideapad is 200g lighter, so if you're looking to reduce weight that would probably be the way to go

    Excellent, was holding off to get a touch screen laptop with a Ryzen 4xxxU processor to upgrade the wife's Lenovo

    What does everyone do with old desktop/laptop? I have a couple.
    Edit: to justify a new buy.

      Donate. Theres one for donating to refugees.

    • duluxe2000 on 31/05/2020 - 00:43

      Sell it? If noone wants to buy it or it's not worth the time to sell, you probably need a new laptop…

      Give it to me, ill pay postage.

    • AEKaBeer on 31/05/2020 - 09:46

      Plug it into the tv as a slim HTPC. Alternatively I'm sure there's a relative/friend that could do with a PC.

      • coxymla on 14/06/2020 - 21:24

        Had nothing but troubles trying to use laptops as HTPCs. Gave up and went to SFF.

        • AEKaBeer on 14/06/2020 - 23:26

          He wanted an excuse 👍
