Lenovo Flex 5 14 R5 Ideapad Laptop - Ryzen 5 7530U 16GB RAM -512GB PCIe Gen4 - 2.2K IPS Display - £649.99 (£585 via Perks, BL, etc) @ Lenovo

It's somewhat confusing how and why AMD market these the way they do. Even though in terms of model number they are the latest gen of processors, quite a few of them are still Gen3 and Gen3+, but with slightly higher clock speeds. It's still superb performance for the money though, if you can see through the somewhat confusing marketing.

I just got mine yesterday. The display is excellent. There's no clouding or back light bleeding etc and the screen isn't too glossy. The brightness seems fine to me although probably not so much in direct sunlight.

Unlikely as it's Ryzen. For laptops they usually have to be Intel based as Thunderbolt was created by Intel.

Yeah but a metal equivalent is probably twice the price, so have to bear the cost in mind. (edited)

Do you mean it can't charge via the USB-C port? Yes it can. I have the laptop. The pin charger that came with it is still in the box. You can use basically any USB-C charger with it. If you mean USB-C PD for charging other devices, well it fast charges my Samsung Galaxy phone, so should fast charge most phones.

Both USB-A ports are 3.2 Gen 1 - 5 Gbps ports, which I certainly wouldn't call slow. I guess if you're looking for high speed 10 Gbps ports then this one isn't going to be suitable. It's more than fast enough for what I use it for at least.

Sorry i missed your explanation in the show more bit thanks
