Dell Launches Ryzen-Powered Inspiron 13 7000: 13.3" 1080p, 2-in-1 Convertible
Despite not wanting to do away with Intel's dominance in its portfolio anytime soon, Dell is obviously looking to better round up its product lineup with some red team-powered goodies. Case in point: the 2-in-1 convertible Dell Inspiron 13 7000, which makes use of AMD's latest Ryzen mobile APUs to deliver a strong computing performance, whilst also emphasizing content consumption. There's an option for all budgets (starting from $700 for the base version and up to $1019 for the top-tier one), and the CPU choices are naturally based around either AMD's Ryzen 5 2500U with a Radeon Vega 8 iGPU, or the more powerful Ryzen 7 2700U with a Radeon Vega 10 iGPU (both 4 core, 8-thread CPUs, but with 512 and 640 Vega Stream processors, respectively).Specs-wise, users can configure their convertible with 8, 12 or 16 GB of DDR4-2400 RAM and a 256GB SSD, which is enough for most content users might want to run on a portable such as this. The convertible itself looks solidly built and has a premium look to it, thanks to the brushed aluminum, which brings the weight to a maximum of 1.75 kg (3.86 lbs) depending on the configuration.

Till those Ryzen laptops pack a dedicated GPU or drop premium 2700U model under $700, just not worth it.
