Regarding on the swift 3 ryzen model
Right now malaysia set is only comes with ryzen 5 4500U
Can that be upgradeable to ryzen 7 4700U?

I already have a desktop for gaming and video editing
Buying a laptop so i can bring it along when i go travel or go outside
Main thing i will be using would be
-Lightweight work (words, excel, etc)
-Watching video (Netflix, YT, etc)
-Medium weight Tab Browsing (I Might run quite a number of tab, few are quite extensive as the data are updated every few minutes ) - can this laptop handle? -Will upgrade to 16GB likely
-Video rendering - this part i am not really sure, as cpu were fine, but not sure about gpu, then i am not sure will it reduce the lifetime of it if i do much rendering

Kindly help
The main reason why i go for Swift 3 is mainly because it seems very light, previously my laptop are kinda bulky
Or suggest me any lightweight, ryzen preferably (price and cost effective)

Thanks!

Swift 3 SF314-42 still don't have 4700U model. 99% laptops have soldered CPU, same with Swift 3

Note that not all models have upgradeable RAM, including this Swift 3

Are you able to wait further?

There's no fixed time cycle

Honestly I can't give you a time frame until new releases are available
