Accepted Answer

The AMD Ryzen 7 7730U is a mobile processor designed for thin and light laptops, featuring an integrated GPU based on the AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 architecture.
GPU Specifications**
- **GPU Name**: AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 (Renoir)
- **Architecture**: Vega (7nm process, same as the CPU)
- **Compute Units (CUs)**: 8
- **Shader Units**: 512
- **Base Clock**: Approximately 300 MHz
- **Boost Clock**: Up to 2000 MHz
- **FP32 Performance**: Approximately 2 TFLOPS (single-precision floating-point performance)

Max GPU Memory**: Up to 8 GB of shared system memory (utilizes system RAM, typically DDR4-3200 or LPDDR4x-4266)

- **Display Support**: Capable of supporting high-resolution displays, such as 3840x2160 @ 60Hz, 3440x1440 @ 144Hz, 2560x1440 @ 180Hz, or 1920x1080 @ 240Hz

- **TDP (Thermal Design Power)**: Shares the CPU’s 15W TDP, making it energy-efficient for laptops

The Radeon RX Vega 8 integrated GPU is designed for lightweight graphical tasks and offers decent performance for an integrated solution, particularly for casual gaming, multimedia, and productivity workloads. Its performance is influenced by several factors, including system cooling, memory configuration (dual-channel RAM significantly boosts performance), and the specific laptop implementation.

- **Gaming Performance**:
  - The Ryzen 7 7730U with Radeon RX Vega 8 can deliver good to mediocre gaming performance, depending on the laptop’s cooling capabilities. It is suitable for casual gaming or older titles but struggles with modern, graphics-intensive games at high settings.

Average FPS** (1920x1080 resolution, based on general tasks):
    - Ultra settings: ~89.9 FPS
    - High settings: ~107.9 FPS
    - Medium settings: ~118.6 FPS
    - Low settings: ~130.5 FPS

Example Game (Grand Theft Auto V)** at 1080p:
    - Ultra: 156.7–194.5 FPS (avg. 174.7 FPS)
    - High: 188.0–233.5 FPS (avg. 209.7 FPS)
    - Medium: 206.8–256.8 FPS (avg. 230.6 FPS)
    - Low: 227.5–282.5 FPS (avg. 253.7 FPS)

Question 2

What is the speed of the RAM?

Accepted Answer

Confirmed, 3200MHz.

Question 3

The specs here say it only has WiFi 5. Does it really? Or does it have WiFi 6?

Accepted Answer

The laptop has Wi-Fi 5.

Question 4

does this laptop have an internal microphone, speakers and camera for zoom meetings?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this laptop has a built-in webcam and a headphone/microphone combo jack, which can be used for Zoom meetings.

Question 5

My power cord uses the USB C port.  Is there another power cord that uses the power port available?

Accepted Answer

Yes, look online, there are aftermarket chargers that work well (I have one) that are significantly cheaper than what Lenovo sells directly.

Question 6

What is the actual model number for manufacturer reference for this laptop ? Also can you charge using the usb-c port ?

Accepted Answer

It is the Lenovo V15 G4 ABP and yes it comes with a USB-C charger, though I purchased an aftermarket charger for the dedicated charging port to free up the USB-C port for other things.

Question 7

Hi, the laptop comes with its accessories such as its charger?

Accepted Answer

yes

Question 8

How many 4k monitors can this computer handle?

Accepted Answer

I'm driving two 4K monitors using the built in HDMI port and a USB-C to HDMI adapter for the USB-C Port.

Question 9

Which panel is on this laptop? TN or IPS?

Accepted Answer

Whichever one is lower quality?  The viewing angle is pretty narrow.  If you get more than about 30-degrees off-axis in any direction the colors and contrast begin to shift noticeably.  I have it driving a part of high quality 4K monitors so that sort of solves the issue for me.

Question 10

Does this rig have a touchscreen?

Accepted Answer

The laptop has a non-touch screen.
