The difference between a laptop and a desktop ram is basically form factor but also the SODimm can't have ECC or registered buffer. Speed and specs are the same

Good find. This seems to be the only such module available though

You guys give up yet? One...two... still more than zero!

Now this is a surprise. Never seen a SODIMM DDR4 ECC.

I smell a market for a very sweet Kickstarter here supported by AMD. No OEMs? Make your own

It baffles me why OEMs would not want to present such a sweet spot, honestly. Too disruptive?

Beats me. My old ThinkPad X201 had a 35W Core i5-520M, surprisingly good battery life, and very decent cooling. And that launched in 2010 or so. I would really, really like a modern take on that (though for me iGPU performance would be as much of a priority as CPU performance, so the H/HS SKUs as they stand aren't very well suited outside of the 4900H(S)). Then again, Asus has demonstrated pretty clearly with the G14 that there isn't much of a reason for going dGPU-less with these chips. At 1.6kg it is the first proper gaming laptop I've seen actually reach my "I can imagine carrying this around with me" threshold.

Now this is a surprise. Never seen a SODIMM DDR4 ECC.

It's used for some mobile Xeon workstations and the like. Rare, expensive, slow, but I guess worth it for some people.

Last I checked, 2666 is not equal to 3200.

Indeed it isn't. However, the person I quoted specifically mentioned SO-DIMMs dont have ecc/reg and said nothing about speed (in that capacity).

Implementing a higher-quality front-facing webcam is just added cost, especially if one won't be using it often.

They've put a 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD and you call it saving costs? No.............

Hence why I removed that from my post after realizing you were listing it as an example of ECC SODIMMs and not another 3200 1.2V kit. Kind of weird that you saw it given that the edit was pretty much immediate and there isn't any edit timestamp (which supposedly indicates anyone seeing the unedited post first).

Welcome. You have arrived.

Editing again?

Yes, I saw the post quickly. I quoted it, then quoted ratirt, and posted. I think the delay to show an edit time is at least 3 mins...considering the timestamp on mine and yours is 2 mins or less. What's your point though? You made a booboo and I happened to catch it. Shit happens man.

EDIT - PS the time stamp doesn't indicate anything except that a post was edited. It has nothing to do with who saw what. There is a setting in vb/xenforo where you can set this IIRC...so immediate edits won't show a time stamp.

Why are we talking about this? Who cares... move on!

 

[Valantar]

Well, it is an Intel 660p, so it's no more expensive than a SATA drive.

 

[Imsochobo]

Good to know, but it is already outdated or soon to be, waiting for EUV N5P Zen3+Rdna3.

It will be outdated in 2021 when the next gen AMD mobile chips get here. Nothing new and better is coming between this and then in the mobile space.

as outdated as anything else you can buy
run and buy is my verdict.
G14 is amazing piece of hardware and something nothing else compares to, even remotely!

Now this is a surprise. Never seen a SODIMM DDR4 ECC.

They're used in Xeon based laptops,
Examples:
Lenovo P50, P51, P52.
HP Zbook 15 and 17.

and so on.

You seem to be the one not moving on, I was just pointing out that it was weird. Not complaining or anything - what would there be to complain about? I would think removing it from the post pretty much spells out that I misunderstood and thus rectified it. Also, I have edited posts way later than three minutes after posting without any timestamp, so either the system is buggy or there's some other trigger. Either way, let's get back to the topic, eh?

*I'm actually starting to consider a laptop now for decent gaming. FINALLY some real CPU power in a small package. Intel hasn't managed to do this for any continuous workload in the past decade... go figure. This is a landslide right here in AMD's favor. Even the faster Intel HQ quads I had can't hold a candle to this. DAYUM.

I haven't considered buying a laptop in practically a decade because I was tired of seeing middle of the range to high end laptops being stuck with crappy underclocked quad cores.

Let me know if this is something you want to do, I know a few manufacturers that could help.

Also, there's a lot faster laptop memory available, for a price...

Vengeance® Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 SODIMM 4000MHz CL19 Memory Kit

Corsair Vengeance Series DDR4 SODIMM memory modules are designed for high performance on 6th generation Intel Core systems. No configuration is required to take advantage of the higher speed – just plug it in and go.

Noise, noise and noise? It's actually quite a bulky 14-incher at that, with limited ports, partly thanks to all the cooling vents.

I'm voting blue no matter what, sorry AMD your colors are for the wrong team! /this is a joke

At least your avatar is slowly turning to red...

It’s kinda. neat to see this combo. I have 17” Turion X2 /8800M Laptop in my closet.

50 dba under load... painful. And the panel response times aren't all that either. 40ms G2G... sheeeet

Its really too bad because otherwise it looks great.

That's storage. 1 TB is not enough space nowadays, especially for games (and VS projects lol). 512 GB is fine to get by for office work (256 GB even).

 

[ShurikN]

As such we'll likely have to settle for a 25W-configured 4900U instead.

I'm gonna make a safe bet and say that the 25w "U" part is also going to be a beast in its category.

 

[yotano211]

I'm waiting for the r9 4900h version, 45w.

 

[Valantar]

Noise, noise and noise? It's actually quite a bulky 14-incher at that, with limited ports, partly thanks to all the cooling vents.

The noise isn't that bad for a thin gaming laptop (I wouldn't game on it without headphones anyway) even if it's not good either, and limited ports... meh. Two USB-C, two A and HDMI is enough for my uses.

I'm gonna make a safe bet and say that the 25w "U" part is also going to be a beast in its category.

Yep, I don't doubt that for a second.

1 TB is not enough space nowadays, especially for games (and VS projects lol). 512 GB is fine to get by for office work (256 GB even).

Say what now? My primary for both games and work is a 512GB SSD, and I currently have 5 games installed, including Destiny 2 (90GB), Control (42GB) and Ori and the Will of the Wisps (15GB). Not all modern games require an obscene amount of space and if they do, I'll play them and uninstall them.

Edit: If I were looking for a laptop, I'd look for one with a 512GB SSD at a minimum, with a 1TB being preferable, but 512GB is fine.

Just five games?

This does depend on the user's gaming habits so no argument here. With that being said, I believe that a bigger SSD would take higher priority than a webcam, especially for mobile gaming purposes.

Yeah, especially when the poor webcam cost is a few dollar cents...
