Hi guys
I'm looking a notebook for programming, VM(2 guest OS max, Linux) and very light gaming(dota 2, Hots and star craft 2).

My budget is below 3k and interested on Ryzen 5.

I found this in Lazada, but can't find any review on YouTube.
any comments on the spec? Looking 16GB RAM.
Is anyone use this cureently?

I read about the processor, it did not have SMT/HT. Which I need for my VMs. . While 3500u, it has SMT. But the price is look good for latest Amd.

Thank you sir,
This is actually in my cart. Still looking for lower price for my task..other option is also HP Pavillion Ryzen 5 3550h, which in my range but better spec than the HP mentioned in my title.

Legion 5... is out of stock @Lenovo MY..... currently

This (below) would be better than the HP (last gen tech...too expensive[/performance] even when new)... The only downside would be a singular storage and a usb-c that lacks display out... and iGPU...

With a 8 core 4800H.... it could boost-up to almost an equal core desktop CPU performance... 3700X... more than doubles the 3550H APU in performance.... with a good enough iGPU performance (around MX330-350)

p.s Free one upgrade to 1 stick of 16GB.... get another 16GB on your own...32GB system....and upgrade to 64GB maybe in a year or 2...
