Light and easy to carry to school Enough horsepower to get homework done Not so expensive and precious to be unduly concerned about


The Ryzen 5 8640HS CPU is very powerful for the $400 price range, and is a 6 core/12 thread CPU with an itegrated Radeon 760M graphics processor that is more in line with a low-end dedicated card than what many think of as "integrated graphics" For intel fans, it would be more like the Arc graphics in a Core Ultra chip than the integrated intel graphics in earlier chips. I upgraded the system with an 8 GB DDR5-5600 RAM card to bring the system to a symmetrical 16 GB DDR5 RAM. Despite the listed specs on New Egg, it is DDR5-5600 RAM, not DDR4. The 8640HS is a Zen 4 chip. It was easier to open than a Dell Latitude to upgrade the RAM but it still takes patience to open the tabs. The build quality looks decent, especially for the price. I got it for travel, but it seems capable of light gaming too. It won't handle something demanding like Witcher III, Cyberpunk 2077, or Baulder's Gate III well, but Alien: Isolation and Subnautica seems to run well. Older less demanding games like Skyrim should too. Full disclosure, I am running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS testing the games, so "mileage may vary" on Windows 11. Fan will run higher gaming of course. I read 72-76 C while playing Alien Isolation wandering around the ship at the start. This Ryzen 5 has a max thermal throttle temperature of 100 C like it's intel counterparts, so that is actually fine. It's meant more as a media/work laptop, and for the the laptop has more than enough power.

- Goop, Goop, Goop!

Fast, easy to set up


Everything so far.



- Integrated GPU Mode (meaning when not gaming I can switch to integrated GPU mode which extends battery life and less of a resource hog). - I like the options of being able to turn on the cooler boost with shortcuts.




In perfect condition for a refurbished PC

This looks and runs like a new laptop. The price was the best I could find for the specs.
