On you website for monitor calibration you atate: "In the display section of our notebook reviews, we always provide a color profile which will improve the color reproduction in most cases on "identical" panels. You'll be able to download it by clicking on the gray box. ???

Where exactly on this review page please ??

My model running W10 constantly throws the display drivers out and  have to set them manually EVERY boot or resume... soo annoying...

Hopefully this helps someone using the X550/R510 etc with not being able to update drivers or being stuck on the integrated APU instead of the GPU working. Got the fix from a newegg reviewer- you can use the latest drivers and the dedicated GPU will work after this.

Make sure to update to the latest bios which is 307 I believe

First completely clean all display drivers/software. Go into BIOS/UEFI turn off secure boot and turn on CSM boot (not sure if turning off fast boot has any implication on it as I had it off for other reasons) restart and install drivers, restart, leave the bios as is and the drivers will work fine.

Recently bought this laptop and compared to my ASUS with a m3-6xxx with 8gb with intel hd graphis. It isnt all that bad. Plays some games that I wouldnt dreamed of with my other laptop, which I was looking at. Going from QHD back to a 720p screen does take some getting used to though. If anyone knows what type of ram this takes? Im aware its DDR4 SODIMM at 2133mhz, but ive seen this at 206 pin and 260pin?

If anyone is thinking about buying this, do NOT upgrade to the lastest drivers from AMD, they simply don't work. Im running 16.12 from late last year and it works fine.

So any advice for me as user of this fx-9830p? yes I had this CPU bottleneck problem. Did it help when I swap my HDD with 7200rpm or better. and also add more RAM for the system?

never ever touch AMD . lousy battery life , low performance , gaming not on par with Nvidia . only sky hight price are same like i5 with GTX1050 model. some more this is Asus . no value of money. look at Acer Nitro i5 with GTX1050 or Lenovo Y520 i5 with GTX1050 .

That's the thing where AMD's APU on Mobile just is not really that good as a whole. Performance for its power cost and in general doesn't even match up to the Dual Core i3s and i5s. That's why I hardly see many high percentage reviews on Laptops that use APUs.

Bristol Ridge swan song. What should be one of the last Bristol Ridge gaming notebooks of 2017 before the push for mobile Ryzen shows us why AMD notebooks have been such a failure. An old plastic chassis, cheap TN panel, and weak CPU performance don't do the Polaris GPU any favors.
