How Popular is AMD Ryzen Laptop right now?


Acer Swift 3 Thin & Light Laptop, 14" Full HD IPS, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Octa-Core with Radeon Graphics, 8GB LPDDR4, 512GB NVMe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Backlit KB, Fingerprint Reader, Alexa Built-in, SF314-42-R9YN

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My youtube video, doing an unboxing and a little demo of the HP 15s AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon X Vega 10 graphics is getting a lot of views. Much faster than my usual other videos. And, I'm wondering why is that so.

I didn't buy this laptop just to make a video. I wasn't really looking for a laptop until I saw it on sale. I was actually more interested in the latest Asus Zephyrus G14 laptop. Especially, with the anime led lightings. That is pretty cool.

This is actually part of the reasons, I was interested in getting a laptop again. Not, necessarily a gaming laptop. Also, why I decided to get the Hp 15s, which has almost the same design as the G14. With its nice slick, silver color, keyboard palm rest top cover.

I wasn't sure that it has a backlit keyboard but it did. So, that's a plus. Also, the fingerprint login is actually useful and fast. Love the 15.6-inch FHD screen and also the full keyboard with a number pad. The surprise for me is the speaker. It sounds loud and clear. Great for Spotify and youtube music!

The Asus G14 laptop hoopla is what actually draws me to AMD Ryzen CPU. It has the latest Ryzen 9, which is equivalent, and report say better than the Intel i9. Anyway, I've been using intel CPU desktop and laptop since the 90s. So, a little change in 2020, aye?

I did buy an Acer laptop with AMD Radeon r5 m240 graphics a couple of years back. You can watch video gameplay here. Even then, it got lots of views. So, the interest in the AMD base laptop has always been there. As I've said, I have lost interest in gaming laptop since I sold off my Alienware m14x.

The ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, Ryzen 9 has certainly driven the interest on AMD CPU. Although, I'm not sure about the graphics. My HP 15s Vega 10 graphics don't impress me. As I can't play my DIRT 4 on high. At first, I thought I can only play on ultra-low but after updating everything, now I'm able to play on medium. Even then, I had to lower some settings.

I actually like my HP 15s, 15.6-inch Ryzen 7 laptop. Everything runs pretty smoothly. No hiccups or lags whatsoever. Asus should think of coming out with a 15.6 version of the G14. I guess, they'll call it G15.6? I also like the full backlit keyboard with a number pad. I used to prefer small screen laptops, but after using the HP 15s, I'm loving it!

If you're wondering, why I'm not posting the same HP 15s laptop, that I bought here, it's because I couldn't find it anywhere on Amazon and even the HP main website. It's kinda weird as if, it never exists. Yet, I got it on offer. 

So, I did the next best thing, finding something similar to recommend. I would definitely recommend the ASUS ROG G14 with the anime led lights if you have the dough. If you can wait, they might come out with a 15.6-inch version. I'm recommending base on the specs that I read, obviously.

The other Ryzen 7 laptop from other companies isn't that bad either. Almost, the same design as my HPs. AMD is definitely offering something different, better, and cheaper? Some of my youtube video viewers asked me if they should get it or which laptop is better that I'll recommend?

My advice or general rule is to get the highest specs possible that you can get within your budgets. Which can last a couple of years and not regretting it later. The design is mostly up to you. Everyone has their own preferences. An AMD base laptop is offering at a good price right now. So, look out for a bargain deal!

HP 15s-eq0142AU AMD RYZEN 7 RADEON VEGA10 - A look inside


HP 15 Laptop, 15.6" HD Touch Display, AMD Ryzen 7 3700U Upto 4.0GHz, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, Vega 10, HDMI, Card Reader, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Windows 10 Pro

Hey guys,

Check it out!

For me personally, 8gb of ram is the minimum for today's Windows 10 laptop or PC. I have a gaming pc and I bought it with Intel i7, GTX 1060 with 16gb of ram. That was a couple of years back. And, I'm typing on the pc right now. What I like is how smooth everything still is. That's what you want.

I also have an Acer laptop with Intel Celeron N4200 with 4gb of ram. It stutters once in a while. I immediately, upgrade the ram to 8gb. I wanted more than 8 but, 16gb was way over my budget. I think it cost around $100+, then. Can't really remember. Now, it runs a bit better.

My HP 15s, AMD Ryzen 7, came with just 8gb of ram. As it was on offer, I thought it'll do for now. I can always upgrade later. Currently, it runs pretty smoothly. So, I've no complained. My only complaint is the Radeon X Vega 10 graphic card.

I was pretty disappointed when I tried playing Dirt 4 as I thought, the graphic card will be able to handle it. Silly me, I thought it would be on par with my gaming pc Gtx 1060. Turn out, it's only half as good. I had to go all the way down to ultra-low to be able to play the game.

One thing I learned when I upgraded my low-end Acer laptop is that after I upgrade my ram from 4 to 8gb. I can now play some games smoothly. With just 4gb, you can't really do much. I'm not a technical expert but, that's why I say 8gb is just great for minimal laptop or pc task.

The other day, my ex-colleague told me that his wife wanted to upgrade her Pc ram from 8 to 16gb. Her pc is running out of storage and things are starting to lag. She doesn't game and uses it for her work. Just another proof that 8gb of ram just doesn't cut it anymore.

If you can afford it, get the maximum specs that you can get so that it can last you for years to come. You don't want the hassle of having to upgrade once, everything starts to slow down. Especially, when you need your computer for work.

Talking about the hassle, it was really a hassle to take out the back cover of the HP 15s laptop. I actually had to use a prying tool to take it off. I don't remember ever having to use a prying tool to upgrade ram or a hard disk. Whoever designed the laptop must think it's a good joke. 


I actually thought of just ripping the bloody whole back of the laptop. That's when I decided to search on Google for any kind of tutorial instead.


After looking at a tutorial that almost looks like my HP laptop, I decided to pry it open. It took me a while to discover the easiest way is to start from below the touchpad. I was really afraid of scratching my laptop and chipping or breaking the cover. It's still just a few days old!


While cursing at HP, I finally, managed to slowly pry open the laptop without scratching or breaking anything. It was all worth it, as I discovered that there are two slots for the Ram. So, I can easily replace them whenever I want to. 

Now, my thought is to either just buy an 8gb ram or if it's really cheap, I can get 2 x 8gb ram to make it 16. I think I'll just buy an 8gb ram and add it to the 4gb ram to make it 12gb ram. Which isn't that bad. Another 4gb of ram would do wonders. Especially, if I want to game on the laptop.

I won't do it now though. The thought of having to pry again the laptop really scares me. If anyone at HP is reading this, fire the idiot that design the back cover and making me use a prying tool just to open that damn back cover of the laptop!
