Hello dear friends!

I'm thinking of getting this for my next laptop which will be purely a music production machine.

Only difference being, I will have 16GB RAM in it.

Would be grateful if any of you PC experts here honored me with your opinion.

Thank you!

 

Unless you need to upgrade right away, hold off until February or March. Sooner if prices drop for current models. AMD & Intel will be releasing new CPUs for Desktop & Laptop.

15% to 20% average performance gain
More PCIe lanes
PCIe 4.0 from Intel
More cache from Intel
Better CCX & cache layout from AMD
USB 4.0 (USB4)
Improved network devices
Improved mainboard memory topology

 

Thank you @mrichi .

I may not be able to hold on till Feb/ March.

What are your thoughts on the laptop I linked to?

Regards

For $190.00 more you get the current top tier retail AMD mobile CPU.

Looks quite good for a laptop at that price. Of course you're gonna have a 144hz screen you won't need but seems a good choice with 16GB.
I checked the CPU specs, very good.

 

Thanks @quadcore64 and @Xupito

 

Less than the Lenovo equivalent.
