    A place where people can discuss this nice machine

    my config is ay0000nc which translates to
    CPU: ryzen 4300U 15W tdp envelope
    RAM: 8GB DDR4 3200MHZ 22-22-22-52
    SSD: 256GB samsung MZVLQ256HAJD-000H1
    LCD: 400nit 1920x1080 CMN139D
    WI-FI: Realtek RTL8822CE (i will swap it for intel ax200 sooner or later) to get wifi-6
    PEN:hp pen

    Few observations:
    First thing i did was that i reinstalled to clean windows 10 as HP prepackaged their version with 40GB of unremovable hidden folders / useless drivers and other funny things...


    But otherwise im very happy with this device its fast, well build, with 15W tdp it provides enough performance for casual gaming, display is nice and bright compared to all other devices in same price range (yep i did my research).
    Battery life is mediocre (i switched from i3-7100U powered machine which was little better with battery but also much less powerfull).
    Keyboard have some sort of "german" (very sturdy) feel, i like it except for missing right CTRL which i usually use for browser forward/backward shortcut...
    Freesync support was disabled by default but with CRU i was able to run 22-60HZ freesync range.


    There are some results when i was playing with renoir mobile tuning for 4300U tested on battery:
