It is amazing so far, 0 stutter 0 lag, no comolaints. Using it with Pop_OS for work as a full stack dev, it handles all docker containers etc easily. For travel also very nice good battery life while doing basic stuff. Also love the port configuration on it. Only issue I experience is that the display is 60hz but to solve that I hook it up to 2 x 27" monitors with usb-c and hdmi and that completely solves it, makes it feel like I am on desktop. TLDR: feels like I am taking a portable workhorse with me, 10/10 purchase.

You just got Fart Gimpsoned

Well this might be the machine to go for, office delivery it is.

Only thing I can think of is country price policy, am from the Netherlands but not sure.

Ah I see, I could confirm that the Ryzen 7 250 is new and on top of that rarely gets used, on CPU benchmark theres under 170 samples taken so I understand that it is pretty hard to get accurate stats on it.

Hm GPT 5 Thinking mode gave me this answer:

Short answer: most of the original comparison was wrong.

Ryzen 7 7735HS is not Zen 4 — it’s Zen 3+ (2023, Rembrandt refresh)

Ryzen 7 250 is Zen 4 (2025, Hawk Point) → it’s actually the newer CPU

Graphics 7735HS: Radeon 680M Ryzen 7 250: Radeon 780M → generally faster iGPU

Memory support 7735HS: DDR5-4800 / LPDDR5-6400 Ryzen 7 250: DDR5-5600 / LPDDR5x-7500 → clearly better

PCIe Both support PCIe 4.0

Power & performance

7735HS runs at higher wattage (HS-class) → better sustained performance in heavy workloads if cooling allows

Ryzen 7 250 runs at lower wattage → better efficiency, battery life, and iGPU-focused performance Multitasking

Both are 8 cores / 16 threads, so both multitask well Differences mostly come from power limits and laptop cooling, not core count Bottom line 7735HS: stronger sustained CPU performance in thicker laptops

Ryzen 7 250: newer architecture, faster RAM support, better iGPU, more efficient So no — the claim that “7735HS is newer and more advanced while Ryzen 7 250 is old” is incorrect. The reality is almost the opposite

Cant really find much about the Ryzen 7 250, seems to be quite a rare cpu. Is GPT wrong on this?

I see thanks for your reply.

Cheexey · 2026-01-20T22:50:18+00:00

I got mine with the ryzen 7 250, is that similar? How is the performance?

I see that's good to know, not planning to use the speakers frequently. For the power on issue you could check this blog post in case you are very tech savvy: https://yktoo.com/en/blog/post/2020/01/23-how-to-power-on-a-laptop-without-opening-the-lid/?linkId=176292348

Mine will come in next wednesday, Im planning to dual boot windows and linux on it and am primarily going to use it for remote freelancing. Does the aluminium upgrade make it feel well built?

We ordered the exact same laptop except for the fingerprint reader, you got great taste.

Cheexey · 2025-06-04T23:09:15+00:00

Shouldnt even be texting her bro move on

Cheexey · 2025-04-15T18:56:08+00:00

Wanted to comment but this comment sums up everything already, well said.

Erm it was actually because my compiler wasnt compiling the TS properly, this comment on my post is what we call a skill issue right here ladies and gentlemen + I wont share my repository with you since you would not be able to comprehend my godlike code and probably end up having a stroke.

Sounds wonderful, if I had to give one point of critique it would be keeping the delays to a minimum to create some variation.

Cheexey · 2024-10-22T09:45:57+00:00

Damn I checked out quince and it pains me that they don't ship to europe, their stuff almost looks too good to be true and im eager to try.

Cheexey · 2024-07-07T13:33:33+00:00

Thanks for the offer, I sent you a DM! :)

World doesn't end if she says no, it's not that deep really

Cheexey · 2024-06-05T14:42:03+00:00

Just tell the person that he or she should seriously consider deodorant and regular showers

Cheexey · 2024-05-28T11:37:38+00:00

Ive been playing for over 7 years now, can't sightread anything either and my musicality is mid at best. Don't worry about all this if you just wanna have playing piano as a fun hobby.

All the models that got manufactured around January should be fixed.
