The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U is a processor for thin and light laptops based on the Cezanne generation. It is part of the second "Barcelo" refresh in early 2023 and offers 200 MHz higher boost clock for the CPU cores compared to the old Ryzen 5 5625U (but a slower base clock speed). The R5 7530U integrates six of the eight cores based on the Zen 3 microarchitecture. The cores are clocked at 2 (guaranteed base clock) to 4.5 GHz (single core boost) and support SMT for a total of 12 threads. The chip is manufactured in 7 nm at TSMC.

In addition to the six CPU cores, the APU also integrates a Radeon RX Vega 7 (now only called Radeon Graphics) integrated graphics card with 7 CUs at up to 2 GHz. The dual channel memory controller supports DDR4-3200 and energy efficient LPDDR4-4266 RAM. Furthermore, 16 MB level 3 cache (up from 8 MB at the 4800U) can be found on the chip.

    Thoughts on OLED laptop screens? I hear they are great for films and TV, but text can be blurry
    fishmaster's avatar
    They use TV panel derived technology (not literally TV panels!) so they aren't fully optimised for computing but they do look very nice, they do HDR really well. The blacks are awesome, the colour representation is excellent. So yes you can have non optimised text. They aren't great for productivity whereby you use applications that have menus permanently on the screen for long periods as burn in still does occur. Optimised panels are coming next year. I've decided to skip OLED and will buy mini LED instead. Micro LED will be too expensive for the next probably 5 years.

    Better thermals. Better performance.

    Light enough to open with one hand
    Built for life on the move, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Gen 8 laptop is so slim and lightweight that you can open it with one hand. With a starting weight of 1.46kg, you can carry it all day without breaking a sweat. It’s the perfect device for working in multiple locations. The more you travel with it, the more you’ll appreciate its slim, rugged good looks.

    More screen space and a better display
    You won’t believe it’s a 14″ display. Thanks to a 16:10 aspect ratio, 4-sided narrow bezels, and 90% AAR for more screen space, the screen feels larger. The up to 2.2K display also gives you more vibrant color and more contrast with a WUXGA OLED display option that boasts 100% DCI-P3 for great color saturation. And TÜV certification for low blue light emissions keeps your eyes free from eyestrain. Plus, a pair of Dolby Audio™ user-facing speakers deliver impressive sound quality for entertainment bliss.

    Hit the ground running
    Make every minute count by saving time on everything you do, from a larger touchpad for pinpoint navigation to a 15-minute Rapid Charge Boost that provides 2 hours of battery life. There are no passwords to slow your flow. Log in with a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button or secure facial recognition via the FHD IR camera. A privacy shutter built into the camera provides an extra layer of security.

    Slim meets tough
    The IdeaPad Slim 5 Gen 8 laptop is engineered with military-grade reliability that shrugs off everyday knocks and bumps while maintaining a slim profile. An optional metal case and aluminum chassis give you even more protection when working in out-of-office environments. Thinner and lighter than ever, the IdeaPad Slim 5’s sleek good looks belie its innate toughness and are available in Cloud Grey, Abyss Blue, and Violet

    The difference is in the details
    Details like a comfortable and tactile keyboard with just the right key action, plus plenty of ports, and a razor-sharp 14″ screen, make using the IdeaPad Slim 5 a pleasure. There’s an IR FHD camera with a ToF sensor for excellent spatial resolution—and a privacy shutter. Plus, a dual microphone array that eliminates distracting background noise. It all adds up to the perfect laptop—portable enough to carry around and large enough to work comfortably on documents and presentations.

    That's one massive heap of marketing BS bingo balls right there.

    Is this all metal or plastic. It says optional metal chassis but no mention of how to select it.
