This is great news for AMD as the mobile market is one place they have always struggled in.

I am more interested in when we get 7nm versions of Ryzen to laptops. Their energy effiency would definitely be usefull in laptops! Next year?

Up to 16GB of RAM?? Please tell me that OEMs aren't still crippling AMD laptops by limiting them to single channel RAM.

But the devices follow the same trend that HP and other laptop manufacturers have always done with AMD CPU and APU devices - they immediately place them at a disadvantage of low resolution screens!!
768p on ANY screen size is unacceptable and consumers will not buy it - especially business users!
1080p 2 years ago was more than acceptable, but a produxt released in 2019 which tops out at 1080p is dead out of the box.
Truly sad. AMD, AMD fans and consumers deserve better - much, much better.

@John 1080p is fine on an allround laptop for schoolwork, email, youpron. The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 2700U with Radeon RX Vega 10 graphics is more than decent. Long batterylife is nice but its not really a dealbreaker. There is a new invention called the wallplug. I took my Zenbook everywhere offroading Africa and its fine. Most people buying a Dell will leave it docked or tethered. If you want a full fledged workstation - they use 500-700w plus nowadays. If not - a phone/phablet is usually a better choice and some can 10h or more and then standby till you get home or to the office. t is not a critical metric.

The vast majority of gamers and businesses use 1080p or below. Your statement is flipped. A laptop with anything higher than 1080p is going to sell waaaaay less because it is targeting a niche market. That's obviously changing, but it will be awhile before 2k or 4k is commonplace.

The sad thing is, most of these Laptops will just sit at a desk docked to a screen, keyboard and mouse, therefore making the screen rez irrelevant.
