Thoughts on the Ryzen 4700U Dell Inspiron
I've been using my MacBook Pro 15" (2018) for more than a year and I also have an iPad Pro. I built a desktop recently, I don't use my MacBook a lot and I feel like it's not snappy in daily tasks.
So I decided to get a 2-in-1 that supports an active pen; and to sell my MacBook Pro and my iPad Pro.

This has a Ryzen 7 4700U, an 8-core/8-thread processor that is pretty much on par with the i7-8850H (the CPU on my MacBook). It has 8GB RAM but apparently it's upgradeable; so I'll order another stick of 8 or 16GB RAM once I receive it. I assume it'll last me around 5 hours on a single charge.
I will mainly be using it for coding and taking notes in class; I have my desktop for anything more anyways.
It comes to $1264 with tax (QC) after Unidays, I don't know if Rakuten/ebates will work on an order with a coupon. Hopefully I'll receive it mid-June.
What do you think about the processor, and the laptop in general? There are similarly priced Intel 2-in-1s too, but they're 10th gen i5/i7s (10210u, 10510u) and they perform worse.
