Lenovo is introducing new IdeaPad Pro 5 laptops in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes powered by the latest AMD Ryzen 7000HS APUs. The specifications are largely similar to their Raptor Lake-H-powered counterparts, but here only the IdeaPad Pro 5 16 gets dGPU options up to the Nvidia RTX 4050 Laptop GPU.https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-7000HS-APUs-debut-with-Lenovo-IdeaPad-Pro-5-14-and-IdeaPad-Pro-5-16-together-with-GPU-options-up-to-Nvidia-RTX-4050.675946.0.html
From the point of view of ports, everything seems to be in order now, but again, Lenovo does not write anything about the bandwidth of the HDMI 2.1 port - 24Gbps or 48Gbps?
Well, this series also has an extremely unsuccessful power supply port place - it is on the left (where right-handed people have legs on reclining sofas) and the usb-c plug sticking out to the side just breaks out easily with their feet, by accident. This is no good, and using it series from a battery is a stupid idea. They are only suitable for lefties with working from psu. Right-handers better look for other series ...
Looks like the first leak featuring zen 4 chips... But with a naming scheme like that lots of people are going to be confused and end up buying laptops with older chips..
Finally Phoenix APU's incoming. These models reveal they aren't Rembrandt rebadges and should be Zen 4 + RDNA2/3. Can't wait and a much etter choice for a laptop than Intel's braindead HX series.
The 'AMD platform codes' list (near the bottom of the specs sheet) has Phoenix-H, Phoenix-U, and Phoenix-2 ? Is Phoenix-2 = Dragon range?

Nice, I did not notice that. Phoenix2 is supposedly a smaller, budget variant of Phoenix, while Dragon Range should be the one coded 'ARX- Raphael BGA'.
