“How is the Raadeon Rx Vega integrated graphics on this? Description mentions VR ready but then in specifications it mentions casual gaming. To me VR ready is not casual. Just wondering, and the processor states 2.1 GHz that doesn't seem like VR ready.”

From my testing, I agree with one of the other answers. I've managed to play older titles like Bioshock Infinite at 40-55FPS with high settings at 1600x900, newer games like Rise of the Tomb Raider only manage to play at 1280x720 and medium settings to maintain 30FPS, although I suspect a driver issue since I managed to get up to the same 1600x900 resolution with only a loss of 2-3FPS. The difference between medium and high settings in that game are also negligible. Most new games are playable at 1600x900 at medium settings which is good considering I've managed the same on Intel Iris Pro graphics in the past, which are only bundled in Intel's more expensive i7 processors. As for the VR mention, they are not referring to the Oculus Rift. They are talking about the new Windows VR headsets, which have much lower system requirements, and aren't used for the same type of gaming. Think Samsung Gear VR instead of Oculus Rift VR gaming.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm having major issues with video playback. The laptop is mainly used for browsing and some light game play, but at random intervals the video will turn green pix-elated and then the whole screen flashes black and comes back and the video is either full green or it starts playing. Youtube autoplay is borked. IT wont load the next video, it will just sit there with a giant play button. sometime we can reload it enough times that it will start. it might finish if it decides to not go black screen again. Drivers are updated, yes. It's 1 week out of the box. Might have to take it in and get a different one.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to AMD, these are the most powerful graphics in the ultra portable notebook class. Take that with a grain of salt until third party reviews are released. This laptop is the first to market Ryzen mobile APU ultra portable that I am aware of. If you want information specific to the Ryzen and Vega package then go to AMD's site below. I think you'll find that the base clock is 2GHz with a 3.6GHz turbo. It also has a default 15 Watt TDP that will adjust between 12W to 25W depending on the system load. Intel, in the same form factor, also defaults to 15W but will rev up to 35 Watts. https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-5-2500u Hope this helps
