i have a T440p. does everything i want (upgraded it from i5 to i7, 16gb of ram and ssds.) but damn those Ryzens look VERY nice.

My old i3 laptop is on the way out so IT asked me what I wanted and gave me a budget (we're only a small company). So I've plumped for a Ryzen 5 2xxxU with 256gb SSD which has 15.6" HD screen and 8gb ram. The Intel laptop I've got ATM has got really slow after Meltdown/Spectre update so I've decided I'm abandoning the crap ship Intel for good.

I've also upgraded my gaming PC to AMD 2700 (only £200!) and an Asus Prime X470 Pro and whilst I know it's a side grade from my 7700K I'm finally rid of Intel and I now have an upgrade path to Zen 2 and maybe even Zen 3 in 2020 if it comes out on AM4. TBH I've now got 8c/16t for a fraction of the price I paid for the 7700K. I'm not using the stock cooler have got a Be quiet Dark Pro 4 which is excellent.

AMD tweeted and retweeted twice).Amd finally brakes the rule that business laptop has to have intel inside, congrats.
