A better article here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22599598

All the current articles are terrible, because none of them have independent benchmarks. Apparently, no-one got review units in time because of all the disruption, but AMD went ahead with dropping the embargo anyway.

It'd just be nice if integrators like lenovo wouldn't nerf things like displays. It looks like their lineup for AMD mobile graphics is going to be significantly different than the Intel counterparts.

For real! What's up with the lack of 2-in-1 AMD x13? I have an artist friend who needs a new laptop and I'm telling him to wait for Ryzen 4000 laptops. Am I supposed to tell him to get a gaming laptop or something?

These recent Intel laptops often have really dicey real-time performance because of how aggressively their clock speeds are controlled.

For someone who does mixed multimedia work, a Ryzen 4000 2-in-1 would be amazing. All those cores are perfect for real-time audio work, rendering and 3d stuff.

I'm not sure if my next laptop purchase is going to be an AMD one because I haven't got enough data yet, specs, benchmarks, etc. But I know one thing for sure, I will exclude from my shortlist any OEM that does not have a serious AMD based lineup. If they only have 1-2 models, or only in the low cost segment just to tick a box, I will be looking at other brands.

I can't help but remember Intel's practices in the past. So I'll vote with my wallet and go with OEMs that give both Intel and AMD an equal chance. Hopefully if enough people do that OEMs will find any backroom dealings less attractive.

Agreed! I got a MacBook for work, and the Retina display is incredible. I want a Linux AMD laptop with a 2k/4k display. My E485 with 2700U and 1080p matte will have to do for personal work, for now.

The XPS line is great for this if you have the $$$ and are OK with an Intel chip. I wish they shipped AMD.
