sounds like a good candidate for Chrome OS Flex instead of Windows 11 . I'm running Chrome OS Flex on laptops from as far back as 2009. Runs great with SSD and 4GB, or more, of RAM.returntodust wrote: ↑ Going to have to caution against HP's x360 8GB AMD notebooks.
I got a similar model from Costco, and the hinge on mine shortly broke after its warranty was up. You can search online for people who got terrible support for this fancy hinge even when theirs broke while still covered.
The RAM it comes with is also meager when AMD processors take up 2GB and Windows 11 is more bloated. I had browsers hanging on me all the time and I wasn't even trying to heavily multitask.
I don't know if this also comes with the stylus but it's a bit too hefty and still jittery even when trying to improve it by playing with settings.

I agree, 16GB or even 1 SO-DIMM slot would have been perfect. 8GB might not be an issue if you're a casual user (web browsing + another task), buts it's the bare minimum these days.

You lost credibility when you suggested the AMD processor is taking 2gb of ram.returntodust wrote: ↑ Going to have to caution against HP's x360 8GB AMD notebooks.

I have a 4GB Surface Go, it can handle most common tasks on Windows 11. Web browsing, videos, office work. It's not great at games or programming. I don't video edit but I imagine it would suck at that. 8GB is more than enough for many common tasks, you just need to know what you're planning to do with the computer and buy accordingly. I think this would seem like a really high quality machine to most people and it would probably even work as a mobility machine for an enthusiast with a desktop (I mean, my Surface Go has).returntodust wrote: ↑ The RAM it comes with is also meager when AMD processors take up 2GB and Windows 11 is more bloated.

Superpowered ? You want a low voltage CPU in a workstation 7 years ago with technology released two years ago? 5600u is not super power but a good chip for laptops.redflagdealsguy wrote: ↑ This is a super powered CPU (even as a last gen), I would've killed for this power in a workstation in 2016 / 2017.
It defies logic and biblical text to cripple this system by limiting it's RAM allotment to 8GB.
People disagree, and that's okay, we can share differing thoughts. Diversity of thought is healthy.
In my view, it's such a waste of potential on an otherwise decent system.
This system is very much overkill for email and web browsing.

I would think he meant for the graphics. I am too on the fence, wish they have one slot like Leveno for adding more memorysuperxxxstud wrote: ↑ You lost credibility when you suggested the AMD processor is taking 2gb of ram.
