> Those results were a game-changer. They’re miles better than I got running the same load on the HP Envy x360 (around eight hours), the Dell XPS 13 (seven and a half hours), the Asus Zephyrus G14 (almost nine hours), and even low-power stuff like Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet (11 and a half hours) for which battery life is a major selling point. I’ll be blunt — this is the longest battery life I’ve ever seen from a laptop. It’s astonishing.

All of the ryzen laptops that exist have abysmal screens. I would have bought one if it weren't for this fact.

Very happy with my T14 (AMD) IPS 1920x1080 display. Some might dislike that it's not High DPI, but personally that's not a feature I want.

Why the hell is this? I bought one myself and in my search I could not find an AMD laptop with a good screen

250 to 500 nits. That is not very bright and this is the potential problem for me.

It's a $900 laptop. Just need to wait for them to put this CPU into a model line they care about.

That goes up to $1,349.40 for the T14's.

My last couple of laptops have had IPS panels. I intend never to buy a TN panel again.

My last laptop was a 15″ 1920×1080, and my current is a 13″ 3000×2000 (and I love the aspect ratio). I intend never to buy a laptop with a 1920×1080 screen again.

At some point I’m afraid I may end up with a ≥120fps screen and rarefy my tastes still further. (I hear good things about them, but have never seen an LCD with such a frame rate.) Fortunately screens with both a high frame rate and a high resolution are still vanishingly rare.

I just hope someone comes out with a good screen on one of these—I barely even care if it’s super expensive; because it’d be a real shame to have to decide between a good screen and a good CPU.
