Was reading Wikipedia, and thought it was a Zen 3, my mistake (and AMD's mistake for making 4 versioning formats): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_Ryzen_processors >> currently trading for 1999.0 EUR on amazon.de. >> >> https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Vivobook-Display-R9-7940HS-Windows-Keyboard/dp/B0BRYTS8MR >> >> The other alternative I've found is a Lenovo Legion 7 Pro, but >> it's more expensive at 2399 EUR (currently seems temporarily >> discounted due to the holidays). >> > > I see a Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 available for 1099 EUR. > https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Lenovo-Display-Graphics-Blue-Green-Premium/dp/B0CGLPVQHK/ > > Same amount of RAM, screen resolution and storage, and a Ryzen 7. > It's a good suggestion, but I have a better one, that's somewhat more expensive, but has a better screen, better build quality, and is cheaper than the Vivobook: A Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 with the following options: - Windows 14 Home (if you don't pick Windows, the OLED display is not available for no reason) - 32Gb of RAM - 1Tb "performance" SSD (it's 70 EUR more, but twice the size) - 2880x1800 OLED monitor - 4-cell battery (only 10 EUR more) - English (EU) keyboard, without backlighting https://www.lenovo.com/de/de/configurator/cto/index.html?bundleId=21K9CTO1WWDE2 For 1.700,11 EUR. It's made of metal, unlike the Yoga, it's possible to repair, targeted at business users, has way more ports (including a full-sized RJ-45!), bigger battery, 3-year warranty instead of a 3-month limited warranty, and a better keyboard. We have the budget, as we were looking for ways to spend it anyway, and it's definitely going to last, so I don't think it's out of an acceptable price range. >> The Lenovo IdeaPad still hasn't been refreshed and uses a Zen 3 CPU, >> so it doesn't fit the requirements.

The ThinkPad P14s does not have an NVIDIA GPU, which is much less of a plus than before, but it does save from having a near-constant constant power hog and Optimus display setup. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
