You sort of bash ssd for low linear speeds at the beginning of the video, but in my opinion it's not important for 95% of users. Even a decent SATA SSD is more than enough for most of the users, and even advanced users are rarely bottlenecked by SSD.

Brett, idk if the performance inconsistencies you're seeing are coming from the changes in Infinity Fabric speed (it gets halved after the RAM is clocked above 3800MHz, I think) but that may be something to keep in mind with the LPDDR4 being clocked at over 4k MHz
The Infinity Fabric can clock much higher on the monolithic die of the Zen 2 based APUs than it can on on Zen 2 "chiplet edition" chips, so it shouldn't go out of 1:1:1 mode on 4266MHz RAM. Current best memory overclock I've seen on the 4700G (same chip as 4800H/U but at much higher clocks) was 6GHz in 1:1:1 mode, so it's safe to assume that the IF will clock as high as the cores themselves. Which makes sense. The IF on chiplet versions is made on GloFo's 12nm which sucks every kind of ass compared to TSMC's 7nm the core complexes are made on.
I got a dell inspiron 14 2 in 1 with a 4500u for a converted $600. Installed a second dimm because dell actually ships it with single channel ram and now It's pretty good
I've read that the MX350 does outperform the Ryzen iGPUs in more graphically intense games like the new Tomb Raiders etc. Also how did you manage to disable the dGPU for the battery test? I just hope Nvidia Optimus organises the programmes well enough but if theres a way to turn it off completely that might be better for battery life when im on the go. Can you go into more detail of how LPDDR4 might limit the power of the Ryzen CPU? It seems if anything with higher clock speeds it should increase performance especially since the Zenbook is at a pretty fast 4266mhz. Thanks! Great video!
If they sell a laptop - all metal - for 550$ - and they still make a profit... One has to ask - how much did this laptop really cost to produce - probably 200-250$ ?! I feel like realistic price should be 450$ !!! And also - what the hell is the point of advertising it as "550$ laptop" - when the god damn price was for like 10 minutes and its 800$ again ?! WTf ?!
Don't be daft, just because parts may have been 200-250 there's still so many other factors to take into consideration like R&D, just paying their engineers and such a fair wage, having enough money leftover for investors and shareholders. Also 250 seems unreasonably low, it probably cost a bit more than that.
ddr4 3200mhz is better than lpddr4 4266. and the mx350 is useless as it consumes 15-25w, generating heat and draining battery which leads to thermal throttling. the igpu is more than enough and is better than the mx350.
Why is everyone forgetting this has a mx350? For comparison it is little less performance then the 1050. Also there is several problems with the hp envy x360’s screen. Literally just search up “hp envy x360 screen” and google’s recommendations is just a list of problems.
There are screws under the rear feet. Also I'm willing to bet they put a tighter power limit on this model vs the others, since it's designed to share fans with a GPU.
This laptop is available in my country for about 1300 dollars and non mx350 version is selling for 1100 dollars But at 650 dollars in India we are getting a gaming laptop with gtx1650 and ryzen 5 3550H

unlike the H skus, the U cpus have free floating FCLK that runs significantly lower than 1:1 by default. You may need to unlock the Bios to access the AMD settings where you can fix the FCLK to 1600 if you are running 3200 ram
Asus says their computers are military spec but I think they misrepresent themselves. I have nothing but issues with Asus and they don't replace their computers if it's faulty.
1:12 There's almost always a screw on every corner. If there isn't a screw on the corners near the hinges, they're definitely under those runner feet. A lot of laptops nowadays are kind and use a re-stickable adhesive instead of that gummy shit you used to get with all rubber plugs.
I picked it up for $550 and have been using it for two weeks now. I don't game, but I do some screen recording, light editing, writing, and general office use. The screen is great, the battery life is great, and i don;t see the need for additional RAM. This is a great notebook for the price for the average consumer.
Ryan Perrin No, it’s because Google Chrome eats ram like no tomorrow and it’s just to be future proofed, but if you’re only keeping the laptops for 2 years then 8GB should be enough, but for 3 years+ get 16GB Ram

I have a previous generation AMD based Zenbook 14. When I first got this, the benchmarks of my R7 3700u based Zenbook were at levels near what many R5 3500u based laptops achieved. Then I discovered Asus has set very conservative thermal limit and boost TDP. Using Ryzen controller, I fixed these. Once the full potential of the CPU was unlocked, it fared at par with other laptops with R7-3700u and Intel's i7-8665u. Zenbook series prefers cool run over performance by default. I think this 4500u based model is limited by Asus in same way.
No this laptop would be fine but it only has a 1080p display. Laptops with 4K displays are usually 1500 and up. I wouldn’t recommend getting a laptop to watch 4K videos when you get a really nice 4K tv for half the price. Anyway you just need an i5 9th gen and 4gb of ram and good internet.
It has a matte screen instead of a glossy screen. Fingerprints on the chassis itself is very resistant. Used this for 2 days and it has no visible fingerprints. But you might need to wipe the trackpad sometimes.
Hello, Pretty well explained. I just wondering which on ewould you recommend me. I am confused which one I buy in Canada. Asus zenbook 14 um433iq Or Acer swift 3 SF314-42-R1FV I appreciate your suggestion. Thanks
I suggest you buy the Zenbook UM433IQ. it is a great laptop. I live in Canada too and I bought the exact same model from Canada Computers. It is perfect for everything I use it for. Great screen, fast CPU, ample Ram if you buy the 16Gb version with 512gbSSD and Ryzen 7 4700u. If you can get this model on sale around CAD $ 1000, it is an exceptionally good deal.
It's lpddr4x, not normal DDR4. Basically lpddr4x has half the the bandwidth, so to convert to normal DDR4 you have to divide the speed in 2 (assuming it's running dual channel, which Brett - UFD tech - confirmed) to get the effective date rate. Essentially this means it is equivalent to DDR4 2133mhz ram, which is not impressive at all.

I picked it up for $550 and have been using it for two weeks now. I don't game, but I do some screen recording, light editing, writing, and general office use. The screen is great, the battery life is great, and i don;t see the need for additional RAM. This is a great notebook for the price for the average consumer.
Have you had any issues with the fan running loudly or an odd, "knocking" noise that I've heard about?
@@LuvinLyfe052 Fan, yes. Once in a while it will kick on for no reason. The battery also now sucks. I would no longer recommend.
@@JosephCoates oh wow...that is disappointing to hear. Do you have the 4500U with 8Gb?
@@LuvinLyfe052 Yep. Asus seems to have BIOS issues, that cause issues that don;t need to be issues. I wouldn't buy another Asus.
@@JosephCoates You've broken my heart! Lol Ok, thanks so much for the reply..I don't know what to buy now 🤦♀️.
How does the integrated vega GPU performance with 4200 mhz ram compared to 3200 mhz ram?
Would make an interesting video comparision.
Which laptop would you recommend at best buy for less than $1,000
What about the IdeaPad 5 14 or 15? On Lenovo right now, the 14" is $585 and has a better screen than the Flex.
If you find the 16GB variant available then get it. The only downside of ideapad 5 for me is the non upgradeable ram.
@@campeador94 That is fair. I am not sure I need 16GB in a non-gaming laptop though. But if you intend to do some gaming, it makes sense.
Ryan Perrin No, it’s because Google Chrome eats ram like no tomorrow and it’s just to be future proofed, but if you’re only keeping the laptops for 2 years then 8GB should be enough, but for 3 years+ get 16GB Ram
@@TechnoLadz chrome doesnt use that much ram. Are you an animal and leaving 500 tabs open? Like, learn to manage your shit and it won't be an issue.
Or don't use chrome..
Maybe it has worst latency
Maybe it has to share power bandwidth with dgpu
hey @brainius would u still recommendd the lenovo ideapad flex 5 as they have increased the peice by a lot and decreased the base specs
The wifi on this laptop is pretty terrible for Wifi 6
Pee pee poopoo
ok
waiting for asus vivobook s15 m533ia
Asus to the rescue with decent Ryzen laptop with a passable screen :D
Please review Dell Inspiron 14 5405 with Ryzen 4500u
any 16inch budget laptop?
What happened to the potato in the back
like for Florida gators
I have a previous generation AMD based Zenbook 14. When I first got this, the benchmarks of my R7 3700u based Zenbook were at levels near what many R5 3500u based laptops achieved. Then I discovered Asus has set very conservative thermal limit and boost TDP. Using Ryzen controller, I fixed these. Once the full potential of the CPU was unlocked, it fared at par with other laptops with R7-3700u and Intel's i7-8665u. Zenbook series prefers cool run over performance by default. I think this 4500u based model is limited by Asus in same way.
How did you fix this using the Ryzen controller? Explain please lol I’m not tech savvy but I’m getting this computer in a couple days so
This looks real familiar to me as a repurposed Vivobook.
I thought it's the UM415 one.
Please review huawei matebook d 14! More love!
for 670$ u can get acer nitro 5
What specs do i need to run 4k movies on a laptop...a zenbook procesor i7 .with uhd graphics and 8gb ram would help?
No this laptop would be fine but it only has a 1080p display. Laptops with 4K displays are usually 1500 and up. I wouldn’t recommend getting a laptop to watch 4K videos when you get a really nice 4K tv for half the price. Anyway you just need an i5 9th gen and 4gb of ram and good internet.
Do HP Envy x360 with AMD Ryzen 5 4500U!!
When are the Wootbooks getting AMD Ryzen 4000 series?
Pretty nice little laptop for the price.
Seems good
In your opinion which is better for lite photo and video editing this one or the lenovo flex 5?
Zenbook because of the better screen
hey, show the internals man, come on.
Hello, i want to buy this the only question i have is how it perform against finger print and grees
Does it show them?
It has a matte screen instead of a glossy screen. Fingerprints on the chassis itself is very resistant. Used this for 2 days and it has no visible fingerprints. But you might need to wipe the trackpad sometimes.
Hello, Pretty well explained. I just wondering which on ewould you recommend me. I am confused which one I buy in Canada.
Asus zenbook 14 um433iq
Or
Acer swift 3 SF314-42-R1FV
I appreciate your suggestion.
Thanks
I suggest you buy the Zenbook UM433IQ. it is a great laptop. I live in Canada too and I bought the exact same model from Canada Computers. It is perfect for everything I use it for. Great screen, fast CPU, ample Ram if you buy the 16Gb version with 512gbSSD and Ryzen 7 4700u. If you can get this model on sale around CAD $ 1000, it is an exceptionally good deal.
@@laszlosarkozi1385 Thank you much appreciated.
Nice, might buy
I love your content. Keep up the good work
Such empty
Everyone said this was good but after this review idk what to do
It’s on sale for 500, and you can buy it open box for 380, for that price, it is insanely good
@@mrkaaya6521 Thanks man appreciate it so much!!!
It’s at Best Buy, just to let you know, if you live in the us you can get that deal.
Nice lappy
I would buy it if it had upgradeable memory or came with 16gb of ram at that price. I think I'll get the Lenovo flex 5 instead.
The Fighting Squid is the Lenovo Felix 5 upgradable??!
@@Elena-nf6sj Im actually responding on it rn :). I think storage is upgradeable. Im not sure about ram because I haven't opened it tho
@@Elena-nf6sj the ram is not upgradeable but ssd is
my favorite thing is how he just breezes on by the fact that the ram runs at 4266mhz U WOT M8
It's performance isn't very good even with that though.
It's lpddr4x, not normal DDR4. Basically lpddr4x has half the the bandwidth, so to convert to normal DDR4 you have to divide the speed in 2 (assuming it's running dual channel, which Brett - UFD tech - confirmed) to get the effective date rate. Essentially this means it is equivalent to DDR4 2133mhz ram, which is not impressive at all.
