But but but.... They're the same price as laotops!

Yes basically no good reviews are available, no thermal stats or anything of that sort, except from the ideapad 720s with the ryzen 2500 which throttles so much because the cooling is inadequate for ryzen, but enough for failtel
If anything wait for real Huawai Matebook D reviews

>gaymen laptop
>ever a good idea
lmao

it's not 2014 anymore, gaming laptops are the best laptops.
Connor Brown
This.
But Intel + Pascal is the way to go.
Hunter Collins
yes, 7nm is around the corner.
Nolan Sanders
Still waiting on the A285.
Has Lenovo just given up on Ryzen?
Lucas Turner
I installed 25 of pic related with Ubuntu 18.04 for a client back in May. Acer Swift 3 Ryzen 2700u. 750 yuropoors each . Bretty good for the price.

>numblock laptops
i seriously don't understand why people buy this asymmetrical monstrosity. it's ugly, nobody fucking uses number blocks anyway and fuckin 15" screen
Gabriel Long

people who type in a lot of numbers do

Depends on the quality of the Helios 500. no reviews yet.

>R5 2500U+rx560x
>700 usd
is it worth it? my laptop is still a i5 haswell yet it still good laptop for programming and shit
Christopher Jenkins
Nice price, but I have doubts regarding Acer's build quality...
Dominic Roberts
My 230€ Aspire One from 9 years ago is still in really nice condition and sericeability is usually also decent enough on Acer. I'd say go for it if you don't mind how it looks and the typical short battery life of a gaming laptop.
Evan Turner
The lack of business Laptops with Ryzen really sucks.
Justin Parker
Depends what you're after. If you want a bang for your buck portable computer that can do office work , some cpu intensive stuff, and light gaymen then I'd say it's worth it. Only real downside is most will probably have poor thermals as cheap quality tim is atrociously applied to the IHS/die. Can be fixed by applying a third party one in the pea config but may not be feasible given how locked down laptops are becoming.
2500U has the best value but 2700U's better binning will also give you better sustained performance.

>gamer
twice more expensive
Andrew Wright
whatever you do, get one with dual channel memory.
the ideapad 720 is single channel because single sodimm.
reeeeeeeeeeeee
Aiden Rodriguez
lenovo y530 looks better, but no ryzen.
you can go for thinkpad L series but not 560x
Mason Rogers
one of the many issues it has. it wasn't designed for ryzen, it lacks to much and it results in terrible system performance.
look out for huawei notebooks, they look solid af
Nicholas Price
I love my Matebook D. Was only 599 too, sure there are Intel solutions that have a bit better battery life but they were like 500 dollars more.
Dylan Collins
I always read a lot of shit about Acer, but I've had 3 (a DDR2 aspire one netbook, a cheap ass DDR3 e3 and a DDR4 e5) and they've never failed on me, but they indeed feel cheap, so there's that
Caleb Wright
We still do not have it here in North America
Jackson Bell
At least you'll have good video without the abhorrent nvidia optimus.
Daniel Jenkins
how was the driver support?
it's been out. people on plebbit already have it
Chase Nelson
They are there, but most are gaming oriented
Connor Green
E585 is available in North America
not true, Notebookcheck has been reviewing the fuck out of them, and the HP Envy X360 Ryzen 5 has great reviews because it's a 25W TDP opposed to everything else being 15W, only con on the HP is screen lottery
Matthew Gray
that's the 485. 285 is the 12.5" one.
Gavin Evans
Wait for 7nm. For laptops wait is worthy.
Alexander Garcia
I disagree. I’ve had a few Acer computers like and I haven’t had issues with either the laptops or desktops.
They’re kind of like the Toyota of PC manufactures. Acer might not have the highest performing products for the money, but those suckers last forever.

cdw.com
There are a few business-ready gems, but yeah, they're mostly aiming at gamers and early adopters.
Hudson Richardson
They're usually hidden away, like the Dell Latitude. You have to ask a service agent for one, since they do have them, just not putting them out on their site for some (((reason))).
Alexander Wilson
or you could just buy one through their site? it's the Dell Latitude 5000
Christopher Sullivan
I will buy a Lenovo A285 if they offer it with 32GB of RAM.
Juan Baker
>starts at $2199
>no dGPU mentioned
Ian Cook
they won't, maximum they'll sell it with is 16GB if you go based on what they're doing with the E585
Camden Myers
Only the Intel ones were listed on their site last I checked. That's why I brought it up.
David Morales
there's good reasons to doubt Acers build quality. they have made some models that I've seen quickly fall apart over the years. I have a 13.3" Acer myself, it's fine (so far). wouldn't buy one without having looked at it and read some reviews and, if possible, having looked at a machine belonging to someone who's had it for some months.
Landon Jenkins
go on AMD's website, they were listed there
Michael Murphy
Click on the "learn more" button and you'll just find the Intel models offered.
Colton Sanchez
It's vega 56

>nobody fucking uses number blocks anyway and fuckin 15" screen
You mean you don't work with spreadsheets or do math or anything else and never had a real job. I use the number pad all the time. I also prefer a 15.5" screen on a laptop, it doesn't make the machine too gigantic but it's also not too small. I do also have a 13.3" laptop, small screen and no number-pad but it is smaller and lighter. Absolutely not my first choice but absolutely ideal for all non-car travel.
