    yeah so the liberty of replacing RAM in these things is no more, and then these laptops aren't so good when the onboard memory goes bad and you have to replace the entire mainboard just for one RAM.

    I bought one of the new Lenovo Legion Slim 5's gen 9. With an rtx 4070. Its a thin and light but it's not really. I absolutely love it. It runs cool unlike the rog zephyrus g14. That think will cook your fingers. Ive never used an omnibook but they seem nice. Wish I had touch screen though.

    This is indeed a great Laptop. You can play games on this laptop with how great the graphics chip is on the HX 375 APU. Just treat it like a Steam deck in terms of configuring games. Yeah I know you can definitely run higher settings on this laptop than you could a steam deck but the configuration idea still applies.

    The ventilation is NOT just at the bottom, that is the intake for the single fan, the outlet is at the rear and blows directly on the screen, a pretty poor design IMO. My partner has the previous (Intel) model from work.

    Does this laptop have a AV1/HEVC(H265) encoder?
    I'm looking for an affordable laptop that I can use as a streaming device instead of buying a second PC, as well as to be able to handle video editing and rendering exports in 1080p/1440p using Davinci Resolve.

    • @mastermind6000
      @mastermind6000 День тому +1

      those are codecs and can usually be used by CPUs to encode. a proper GPU has hardware dedicated just to doing that encoding. that usually works pretty well, but this laptop will not have it. you would be able to record video using AV1 codec, but mileage may vary. this laptop seems like a horse of a CPU, so it would probably work fine. You can buy any laptop with a Nvidia RTX 40XX card and those all have hardware-supported AV1/HVEC encoding and can be a low as like $800.

    • @HawaiianTuber808

    I bought an open box 15.7" Asus VivoBook OLED with a Ryzen 5800HS and a 3050 for about $800 Canadian a few months ago. Ridiculous value for a media consumption and a light gaming machine.

    • @johnt.848

      IMO open box implies a new unit returned, not an old device resold. The 5800s and 3050 are both a few years old now.
