A:AnswerIts 3200mhz. You need an additional ram module that is PC-3200 for it to run in dual channel.l mode. Once installed you can use CPU-Z to look at your memory specs to confirm it's running in dual channel. Once the machine senses a second ram stick it will be in dual channel. Just make sure you get a 3200 module if you have the Ryzen version of this laptop (4600h). Each slot handles up to a 16gb stick. For the best performance I'd recommend buying a 32gb matched set of PC-3200 memory from a reliable brand and keeping the included 4gb stick as a spare or for use in another machine.
A:AnswerThe two M.2 SSD slots support PCI-e Gen3 x4 only, with RAID 0 support. You can Google the exact model you want and there are likely resellers that have these in stock.
A:AnswerIt runs super cool. I was running two sessions of a CPU stress tool to get all 16 threads up toward 100% while playing Forza 4 on Ultra (it was jittery with the CPU things going) and it was hitting 75c CPU / mid/low 60's GPU I believe. Not surprising considering the efficient 4600h and low power drawing 1650 mobile. Add to that the very well laid out cooling (there are teardowns online) and you have 0 thermal issues. It does respond well to having the rear elevated, even something as simple as a small piece of scrap wood, I had a mill end piece about 1/2" thick by 1" wide that I used to raise up the back a bit and that dropped the temps a few degrees during stress testing.
A:AnswerYes, all people have different ways of using a computer. So If you’re a gamer it last around 4-6 hours but if your surfing the web it will last a full 10+ hours.
A:AnswerThe naming of Ryzen is confusing but 3rd gen is 4000 series processors. So here's the naming of the processors to make it easier:
Zen 1: 1st gen= 1000 series processors
Zen +: Also 1st gen= 2000 series processors
Zen +: 2nd gen= 3000 series processors
Zen 2: 3rd gen= 4000 series processors
Now these are names for only the mobile laptop processors, the PC processor names can differ. But don't worry this is the latest Ryzen processor in this laptop. I hope this was helpful
A:AnswerYes it can. As long as you dont have to many other programs softwares/programs running. I can use Adobe Premiere Pro/ After Effects while listening to Spotify on the computer and it runs fine. Would 100% recommend eve on the owest specs, becuase of the RAM and Ryzen 5.
A:AnswerChange switchable graphics to Force Power Saving in advanced power settings, brightness @ like 2/3... 5-6 hours. You might be able to get more, but that's been my experience. If the 1650 is doing much cut that number in half. I also have two M.2's and a 2.5" Firecuda in there which pull 1-2.5w each during load so that could contribute.
A:AnswerRyzen 4600 is a very capable processer, it should easily handle 10 apps open at the same time, with minimal lag, I usually have 20 chrome tabs, 6 other apps open and very very little lag.
A:AnswerProcesser is 40% better and the graphics card is 60% better so if it cost about the same then definitely go for this because they really upgraded the cooling this year.
A:AnswerIt's a AMD Ryzen 4600H 6 core. Which I read is faster than Intel i9-9880h 45watt by 10%. It's really fast. The AMD 8-core is 30% faster but cost 1k instead of the 669.
