RYZEN & RX 580 LAPTOPS ARE HERE!!!

[Gibbo]

Hi there


Something I've being waiting and pushing for since the release of Ryzen, is a mobile variant and oh my does it deliver, the CPU performance is off the charts in multi-core applications, double that of 7700HQ and the RX 580 is an absolute beast!

Lets just hope the miners don't buy them all!

Check them out!

Considering the CPU power, good graphics and IPS Freesync screens these are really nice gaming/professional laptops.

By the end of this month fingers crossed.

I was really hoping for 120Hz screens, but have requested 120Hz and 8G RX 580's on future models, I know 8G is not really required for 1080P gaming but its still nice to have and it probably only adds around £50 which when spending £1500 is a small amount in the grand scheme of things.

FINALLY 8 CORE LAPTOPS !!!!! I've been waiting forever - it would make a perfect desktop replacement content creation machine.

Can these be upgraded to 32gb ram ?

Yes by installing 2x16 sodimm.

 

[Gibbo]

Awesome thanks, I'll hang on for the 8gb video ram.

Any ideas on the colour accuracy on the monitors? Or 4k versions? Or even ones designed for video/photo editing? (same or better spec with 100% argb panels?)

Probably won't do 4k panel, not many people go for them, too small to see anything when at 100% scaling 4k. Most people buy a 4k monitor and power it with the laptop as to see 4k you ideally need at least a 32" screen, unless of course your literally just talking photo editing.

8G version is still an uknown, it may not happen, so you could be waiting a very long time. It's being requested but I know there is no RX 580 GPU anyway, we only got these as Asus ordered the parts months ago.

 

[Gibbo]

Cool thanks!!

Can it support 2 external 4k monitors? (one USB C to display port adaptor) one on the display port built in ?



I'll still wait on the website it lists 8gb 580's so must be following suite - Although I appreciate your trying to sell the 4gb models

EDIT: OHHHHHHH the website changed over at Asus :O only 4gb now

Hmmmmmmmmmm haha

Not a sales ploy at all, if we could get 8G they'd be online too and I've just put these request with Asus and the feedback is as follows:

- 120Hz, not working correctly so won't be happening for some time.
- 8G 580 is no longer an option at the moment, if it comes they don't think it will be until after Christmas unfortunately and is still unconfirmed.

 

[Gibbo]

Any crossfire plans as well ? You also might know the answer to my questions to gibbo above lol

Crossfire is a no. It is RX 580 4G single, no plans for other options. Maybe an 8G in 2018, but only maybe.
120Hz screen is buggy, so not happening until a few months or never.

The VGA outputs, Tom from Asus shall answer once he has proper technical documents to hand to be 100% certain.

3. It is B350 chipset, so I suspect maximum RAM speed is 2666MHz and remember SODIMM is not like regular DIMM, so frequency ability is always far less as is BIOS ability.

How do these compare performance wise to a similarly priced Intel/nVidia laptop?

Any application that is multi-core dependent I don't think there is any Intel based laptop that can even come close, so CPU processing power wise these blow anything Intel have out the water, so its an easy victory. If its down to GPU performance than the RX 580 4G outperforms the 1060 6G in the benchmarks Asus provided, though I'd say it was more a case of close / trading blows. At £1399-£1600 they are priced around 1060 laptops with the advantage being of having much better processor.

Also as it's USB c.....I'm thinking external gpu.....I'm fairly sure on external gpu I can have as many displays as the e-gpu supports

We sell Devil GPU box, so I think in theory you could get one of those and put a 1080Ti in it.
