For real! What's up with the lack of 2-in-1 AMD x13? I have an artist friend who needs a new laptop and I'm telling him to wait for Ryzen 4000 laptops. Am I supposed to tell him to get a gaming laptop or something?

These recent Intel laptops often have really dicey real-time performance because of how aggressively their clock speeds are controlled.

For someone who does mixed multimedia work, a Ryzen 4000 2-in-1 would be amazing. All those cores are perfect for real-time audio work, rendering and 3d stuff.

The announced Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 might tick the right boxes.
Oh wow, that one is so close! Just needs some more memory...

edit: at first I read that this would have 8 GB RAM, but now I'm reading that you can get up to 16 GB, which I think would be adequate for some basic multimedia work.

edit 2: wait I'm confused, according to the announcement, the AMD version is set at 8 GB of RAM.
