yeah, best it is Linux compatible, and everything is upgradable.
Is AMD Ryzen 7 5700U-35W good for let say next 3-4 years ? Just dont know how is GPU.

Second option is 14 " , Intel CPU , options with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti 4GB and with Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 (96EUs) .

All options are little expensive, but I think that all options are good to go for longer period :slight_smile:

I like the fact that it has 2 m.2 slots and they are the 2280. It also supports up to 64 GB memory. The 5700U is 65 W so lower power. USB-c with DP 1.4 91 Wh battery. I would go with this over the Intel with Nvidia.

Thanks :slight_smile: Do you have experience with them ?

After search for almost 1 month, all branded laptops have soldered RAM. And paying for 32 GB in the start is expensive like hell :slight_smile:

This options seems much better, you can customize everything

The Intel @pebcak shows is also good and will be more performance i would think. But how much more expensive?

I dont really understand m.2 etc , but sounds good xD
5700U on that model has sustained power limit of 35 watts, dont know how , saw that here in first comment link

Not personally but I have read quite a few reviews of their products.
If I were to buy a new laptop, I would seriously look a bit deeper into their product line.
They do seem to have a quite nice build quality.

So that is a difference of almost 400 Euro? So ya that’s quite a bit. I think the Intel does have more performance but does use more power. No Nvidia on this one? Also Did you return the other Asus product?

Yes, difference is almost 400 euro. With Nvidia is 400 eur more :slight_smile:
so I think AMD is better choice ? I am curious if I can upgrade external GPU on AMD ?

yes, I returned ASUS. Waiting for the money :slight_smile: hehe. It was most beautiful laptop which I saw. But lack of upgrade is no go for me

Do you mean using an external GPU?

Edit: Maybe? Have you seen this?
