HI Stein,

I? would think Cliff could give you some thoughts on Lenovo as I believe he's? had a lot of experience with them. Since you only do this every eight-ten years, like me,? I'd suggest you go with as much memory and storage space available. After all, as the ad on TV says, ....? you're worth it!

The specs show:?

Max. Boost Clock -Up to 4.3 GHz

Base Clock - 1.8 GHz

Does that mean you have to overclock the system to get to 4.3 GHz.?? I've seen systems where you don't have to manage overclocking to get the most out of them. I personally don't try to mess with manual overclocking as I don't know ramifications of the changes I could make. My experience with a screwdriver in one hand and a carburetor in the other has taught me to never let the two meet. If it can be screwed up, I will find a way immediately.

Here's a link that tries to untangle M.2, PCIe, NVMe ....

If I want a reliable laptop for our travels in July, I need to get something bought so I can get it configured before we leave.? Looking at this one:

Or one could splurge on extra RAM and drive space:

I’ll admit that “Be the first to review this product” has got me a bit leery.?

Reactions? Any opinions on AMD Ryzen chips/Lenovo laptops/NewEgg?

?

I’ve had good experience with AMD in the past, but we’re talking 8-10 years since I’ve purchased a computer.? Also had good luck with NewEgg but again it’s been a while.? Never owned anything made by Lenovo.

?

Looking closer, it appears that this is not sold directly by NewEgg but rather by the GeekShopping store seeling thru NE.? Has anyone dealt with them?
