Best laptops from CES 2020edit

The PC combines AMD’s “Renoir-H” Ryzen processors with eight Zen 2 cores at 2.9–4.2 GHz. It also features Radeon RX 5600M graphics if you’d like an alternative to the Intel/NVIDIA combination typical of most gaming laptops.

Last man flippingedit

The AMD Ryzen 7 is a tasker and even with just 8GB on board, there’s no stutter while running apps like InDesing and Chrome.
