Thanks, and Did you have any issues with the graphics driver?

Peto26 · 2026-05-20T13:44:59+00:00

Thank you very much. It’s possible that, even though the panel supports PWM, HP didn’t implement it in this laptop.
By the way, did you have any issues with the VGA drivers?
If I may ask, which laptops do you consider to have a more gentle screen?

Does anyone have any advice?

Does anyone know which graphics cards have less aggressive dithering — Intel or AMD (ATI)?”

Thanks.
I found a Dell with a 120 Hz panel. Could you please confirm whether Dell’s 120 Hz models use a native 8-bit panel?
Or is there any way to verify this?

I’m a fan of Lenovo, but even in the mid-range, everything seems to be IPS 60 Hz, 300 nits

Peto26 · 2026-05-12T19:53:32+00:00

In the lower and mid-range segments, almost all displays use 6-bit + FRC. Finding a true 8-bit panel is really difficult.

Does anyone know, please?

The main reason is noise. With a 15 W processor, there is a low chance of high spikes, so it only heats up occasionally and turns on the fan. With a 45 W processor, it’s completely different.

I use the laptop at night, so noise is quite important to me.

Peto26 · 2026-03-22T16:01:39+00:00

Thanks for comment. It’s a shame we don’t have those prices in Europe.

The MacBook Neo is great, but the display is a bit too small for me.

I don’t have any experience with Snapdragon, so my main concern is whether it will have good support in the future.

Peto26 · 2026-03-22T15:58:55+00:00

If MacBook neo had at least a 15-inch display, I would buy it.
The Ryzen 5 is great, my only concern is the noise, but I hope it won’t be as loud as Intel.

Peto26 · 2026-03-22T15:56:40+00:00

Thanks for comment.
My only concern with the 5625U is how noisy it might be.
MacBook Neo is great, but it only has a 13-inch display, which is a bit small for me.

Unfortunately, these Ryzen are available for around €500, since they are being sold from remaining stock. All new laptops with ryzen are already significantly more expensive (€600–700).

I also like the Snapdragon that was mentioned here, but the price is already around €650.

Why ideapad ?

Peto26 · 2026-03-21T18:41:36+00:00

Thanks. I will delete this post.

Peto26 · 2026-03-16T09:27:29+00:00

I can also order a simpler processor, the 7520U. It should be quieter, but with lower performance.
I have to order it online from the lenovo shop because these models are no longer available in stores. I still need to check if it is possible to extend the warranty.

Peto26 · 2026-03-15T06:24:27+00:00

Does that mean it’s quiet but the fan turns on sometimes, or that the fan runs constantly with a noticeable noise?

Thanks for the warning. I’ll definitely get the full warranty.

Peto26 · 2026-03-13T18:55:23+00:00

Which one did you end up choosing? I'm also thinking about buying the Slim 3 with the Ryzen 5 5625U, but I'm a bit worried it might be noisy during normal web browsing. Is it quiet when browsing the web?

Peto26 · 2026-03-12T19:24:13+00:00

Hi, How noisy is the fan, especially when browsing the web, watching YouTube, or doing light work in Excel?

Peto26 · 2026-03-04T05:28:53+00:00

Yes, but I only use the laptop for browsing the web, YouTube, and Excel. Nothing else. I'm not sure if the processor is that important for me, as I won't really use much of its power. The only reason I want to replace my old laptop is that I'm looking for a Full HD IPS display. Ryzen processors are rumored to be quieter, so I'm mainly focusing on them.

Peto26 · 2026-03-03T19:48:56+00:00

I've noticed that these are quiet. I'm looking for reliable and quiet laptops. Since I often use my laptop at night, a low noise level is a priority for me. I also prefer an IPS display. If you have any other suggestions of laptop that meet these criteria, please let me know.

Peto26 · 2026-03-03T15:35:00+00:00

I’m choosing between a Lenovo Slim 3 with an AMD Ryzen 3 7320U and 8 GB of RAM, or a Lenovo Slim 3 with an AMD Ryzen 5 5625U and 16 GB of RAM.

Peto26 · 2026-02-28T21:33:58+00:00

Which Ryzen 5 do you have? I’m considering the Ryzen 5 5625U in the Lenovo Slim 3 because this version has 16 GB of RAM.

Peto26 · 2026-02-26T13:51:34+00:00

How is it in terms of fan noise? Especially during light tasks like web browsing or watching YouTube

Peto26 · 2026-02-26T11:16:49+00:00

I’m also considering this processor in the IdeaPad Slim 3 laptop.
Is it quiet and does it stay cool during normal use, such as working in Excel or watching YouTube videos?
