Just Right

Pros: Best Bang for buck and it can game.. The last time I bought a laptop was 5/6 years ago and it was ok after, I upgraded the Ram and put an SSD in it.. But this came ready.. 16Gigs Dual channel at 3200Mhz speed.. This thing is fast and I can't believe it's only $600.. It's every bit as fast as my Desktop, Maybe faster in light tasks.. Slower in multi.. Got a 2700X anyway have used it for a few days and I'm so happy I found this. I almost bought the ACER 4500U 8Gig with a second stick of ram at 2666 and I procrastinated, and got lucky with this with 16gigs at 3200 out of the box which matters with this chip.. It is fast. Its the fastest laptop I have ever owned without a dedicated GPU Definitely. Screen could be brighter but you can't CON that because of the Raw Power. Best hardware for the money hands down the 16gigs dual channel 6/12 threads, 7 Cu's at 1800Mhz instead of 6 at 1500Mhz , Matter's..
Cons: None at this price really, It's really a hopped up 4600U and Not Zen 3.. Kinda False advertisement.. Could have done better with cooling Keep in Mind it is a thin N Light it doesn't run at 4.0ghz really ever, however it will hold above 3.0ghz while gaming mostly around 3.5ghz depending on the game. Finally the refined Zen2 chip is fast even at 2.5ghz. That being said this is the fastest laptop I have ever owned. It's not a gaming laptop but you can game on it on lowered setting and resolutions.. You can pretty much play anything at 1600/900 or worst case 720P. but who cares for light on the go gaming. It's Not WIFI 6 But Not a Big deal to me. A Gigabit Down is good enough for me in a laptop. And the Bluetooth is Behind to. Another thing I don't really use.
Overall Review: I definitely recommend the laptop, keep in mind it's Zen 2 not Zen 3 But it's still fast as hell and you can play any game with adjusted settings.. I play a lot of older titles still, and this laptop plays them all at 1080. Some of the newer AAA titles need to be dropped down to 720P or 1600/900 in order to stay above 60FPS but perfect for on the go use.. Finally I have to say after Now using it on and off for like 2 months. The Ram timings could be a lot tighter. Not Gonna knock it for that it is Laptop memory after all, Also no matter what I did in advanced power settings, I can't get this Laptop to go full out like it does when i's plugged in. It's just so much Faster Plugged in. But Still I just saw another VIVOBook with a 4500U only 8 Gigs of Ram and 128 Boot with a hard drive for $669, and I bought this on Day one when it was selling for 599.99 and now it's going for 629.99 I guess, But anyway this is still the best $600 Doller Hardware.. It's Got 7 Vega seven CU's at 1800Mhz Vs a 4600U with 6 Vega six CU's at 1500Mhz which that extra CU and all Running at 1800Mhz Makes a Big difference, and an even Bigger difference Vs the 4500U 6/6 Threads. And Finally you have to run these chips in dual channel in order to get the full power out of them. If not in most use cases you are handicapping the chip by 30% in performance, even worse in light gaming. Oh and I have been able to play a lot of older titles in 1080P. And don't think you are going to play brand new AAA games in 1080P not happening..
DOA Or way to hard to get working!!

Pros: Second card that would not power on!! GPU driver's are 22.2.3 still nothing!!! I am sick over this!!!! There are no Pro's to having to wait to get your money back...
Cons: These cards are supposed to be plug and play other than downloading the latest Driver's.. I am already on AMD driver's and the Latest Adrenalin Drivers which are the same for my RX480 and they are for the 6900XT driver 22.2.3.. I have tried 3 different 6+2 8 pin cables all have power over them!! I tested all 3 cables on my RX480 and they have power over them!! I can't get a display out of the card or does it even come on at all both cards?????? Oh and I bought a Corsair RM850 for nothing!! That's the only thing that worked and is still in my case
Overall Review: I am devastated I saved forever to buy cards I can't use that should be plug and play!!!! Now I will have to save for another 2 years to buy a whole new Pre Built!! Because there is no way I am going to keep doing this to myself!! My hands are a bloody mess all for nothing!! I will pick my parts and have Cyberpower build it for me.. I did that last time and I am happy and still using the PC 6 years later! The same PC that won't work with the new card! It's just a sin that I will have to buy a whole new PC just to get a good GPU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good experience.
Newegg has great products at reasonable prices and there's always sales going on. The only issue I have with the Ram I bought is that the next week the Dims were on sale for almost ten dollars less....
