If you goto HP's site and choose the 445 or 445 ProBook, then choose the one that says AMD Ryzen 3 APU, you can choose a bunch of configurable options: 1) W10 vs FreeDos _(huge savings)_ 2) 5400U vs 5600U vs 5800U 3) 250nits, 400 nits or 1000 nits screen 4) 4, 8, 16 or 32 GB RAM 5) etc I think the pricing is a bit high for a 6 core laptop, no Windows _(FreeDos),_ 400 NIT screen, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe and a 45 WHr battery. Both the 445 and 455 priced this config over $1000 bucks. If the battery was 80 WHr and it was a touchscreen, I'd be interested.

[@MichaelMantion]

why is $800 pricey for 5700 laptop with 16gb ram? I agree the screen isn't bright but $800 seems like a reasonable price

[@nomaansiraj5067]

is the ram upgradable???

[@sameshmundra7844]

I got the flex 5 14in with this Apu and its great! I can play dark souls 3 at 50-ish frames it's awesome. Super happy with it!

[@sameshmundra7844]

Granted at 720p, but considering this game is native 900p, it's not that much of a downgrade especially with AMD image sharpening and that extra 10-15 frame boost.

I loved my flex with the 3500u (~$550 2 years ago), and have considered bumping up to a ryzen 7 version. Despite this being a huge improvement over mine, the much higher price and the overall mixed bag is gonna keep me holding off til the next version.

[@NaturalMystic69]

I have had no issues with my Lenovo Flex-14API with the Ryzen 5 3500U, 256G SSD and 12 GB of RAM but will give it to my daughter for school so I just ordered the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 82HV003QUS 15.6 2-in-1 from the Microsoft store (I assume it's a similar spec to the one in the video). This new model cost less than $200 CAD more than my current laptop. I've had Toshiba Satellites, Dells, ASUS and have been less than impressed with any of them. I also use a Lenovo ThinkPad for work and so far I've been happy with them so I think I'm gonna stick to Lenovo for the time being.

[@Raison_d-etre]

@@NaturalMystic69 It's the exact same model.

[@EliezYT]

I just got a Hp Pavilion with the new Ryzen 7 5700u laptop and trust me it’s worth it and you can keep this laptop for probably twice as long as yours!

[@divyabanbiswas8326]

I just brought the lenovo ideapad pad flex 5 with the ryzen 5 4500u processor which has a 14 inch screen. I agree you may face issues regarding the display but bear in mind that this is a 2-in-1 convertible, it has to be glossy. Also, a 15.6 inch screen is not at all ideal for a convertible, a 14 inch screen is much better. So the thing is, if you are interested in buying this laptop, go for the ryzen 5 4th Gen 14 inch variant.

[@fazz3592]

How is the display? I mean , is it enjoyable watching netflix with it?

[@attilathehun79]

You have to consider in the Cinebench scores that the 4500U is just a 6 core 6 thread CPU and this is an 8 core 16 thread CPU, so that improvment probably due that it has a higher base core and multythreaded and not because it's a 5000 series CPU. The 4600U and the 4800U are a multythreaded CPU, the 4500U and 4700U are not, so it would be great to see if there is any inprovment compare to the 4800U.

The 5700u is basically a zen 2 plus, a step between zen 2 and zen 3.

[@justaguy-69]

i got the same specs with an acer aspire 3 15 but it WAS upgradable to 32 gigs ram, which i did by adding another 16 in the slot beside the built in 16. also upped to 1.5 terabytes of ssd ,with an extra terabyte kingston in the slot next to the 512 it came with. the 32gigs ram really makes that ryzen 7 5700U shine ! ( : full HD 1080 15.6 monitor. all for $450.

[@germaineliew2012]

I think 250 nits on a laptop display is completely unacceptable. It's a "portable computer". What's the point if you can barely see the display while working outdoors? Lenovo also has the Ideapad Slim 5 that is equipped with a 300 nits display. Seems to be a mostly similar laptop minus the touchscreen (And cheaper too based on my local pricing). A good trade off.

[@Tekz12]

Slim 5 is touch though!

Ty.. Thinking of getting this one a year after you looked at it.. Just need a good coding computer that can handle a little bit of web design and web development.. Thanks for your time

[@theshinythings123]

I just got this laptop. I really like it but I think the speakers are too low in certain situations like you say and for the brightness when I sit near my window I have to turn it to max brightness which seems very weird. I have watched people play video games with a dark background before so that seems annoying. The screen does feel kind of flimsy. For now, it's ok because it's new but I'm not sure how that will be in 2 years.

good insight; one help : which one is the better choice: i5 11th gen + mx450 (or) this one Flex 5 with Ryzen 5700u ?? that really helps to take a decision....

[@bankruptgecko4829]

I'm not an expert but I don't doubt that any Ryzen 7 will perform better than an i5. Or at least since that was the case for Intel's 10th gen, I assume that because both have upgraded the Ryzen 7 stays better.

[@cyc00000]

The Ryzen 7 5700u is much better and beats i7's in some benchmarks. I wouldn't touch intel.

[@bankruptgecko4829]

Yep. As a general rule, AMD gives you more performance for less money.

[@Raison_d-etre]

Intel 11th gen iGPU is stronger, I think. The review is right about the lack of color accuracy on the Flex 5, esp. noticeable on videos.

As an avid Lenovo ThinkPad user, I don't see this as even being a viable purchase unless you "have no choice"....or if its "gifted" to you. Otherwise, Why buy a laptop with a lousy hinge and so much flex on the keyboard deck that you could have a hamster use it for a trampoline?!...LoL! As for web-cams and such, I get that sometimes you want the "best" picture / video quality?....but most business meetings?...only want to see your head / upper torso and hear your input on whatever topic is being discussed, I seriously doubt the exec who uses their MacBook and iPad at home?...could care less about their video quality and audio on their Windows work laptop! To me?...I think a lot of the sticking points that are spoken about in the industry are just irrelevant. One example?...the fact that some content creators feel the need to mention that "You Can Open This Laptop With One Hand".....unless you only HAVE one hand?...this isn't a "feature, this isn't a perk, or a benefit. If anything?..it shows a hinge that's not "tight" enough...but that's a personal preference, and they need to stop mentioning it....along with webcams and audio, which might only be important to video / audio studio engineers, or content creators who focus on graphics and such....in which case you'd think they'd be buying and using high-end stuff?.....I dunno...that's just how I see it.
