Everyday laptop for work and study

The 14.0 inch FHD display shows 1920 x 1080 resolution for clear documents and video. A Ryzen 5 3500U quad-core processor runs at 2.10 GHz base and 3.7 GHz turbo. Integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics handle daily visual tasks. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed for professional use.

12 GB DDR4 and 512 GB NVMe headroom

12 GB DDR4 memory keeps multiple browser tabs and office apps responsive. The 512 GB NVMe SSD provides fast boot times and space for large project files. Heavy video editing or modern gaming will exceed the integrated graphics and memory capacity. Demanding workloads need discrete graphics and more RAM.

FHD display and integrated graphics limits

The 1920 x 1080 panel is driven by Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics sharing system memory. External monitors connect via HDMI for extended desktop space. High-refresh gaming or colour-critical work exceeds the panel and GPU capability. The integrated design cannot be upgraded later.

Questions about this item

Will the Ryzen 5 3500U work with my existing DDR4 SO-DIMM modules if I want to expand the 12 GB later?

The system ships with 12 GB of DDR4 memory; the Ryzen 5 3500U controller supports standard DDR4 SO-DIMMs, so compatible sticks can be added if a slot is free.

How can I confirm the Vega 8 graphics are running at the advertised 3.7 GHz boost after I set up Windows 10 Pro?

Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, choose GPU, and watch the clock speed rise toward 3.7 GHz during a heavy 3D load.

Does the box contain an HDMI cable for the 1920 x 1080 output, or must I buy one separately?

The laptop includes an HDMI port for 1920 x 1080 video; an HDMI cable is not supplied and must be purchased separately.
