And again no hyperthreating cpu choices in germany as on the yoga slim 7.
Im getting skeptical with lenovo - they keep on announcing amazing products but never release them. same with the yoga slim 7.... customer support told me its just a month away. for around four months.... its getting tiresome and is not very helpful in terms of lenovos reputation at all.

Lenovo was supposed to have released all of its T and E Series with AMD Ryzen and Ryzen Pro 4000 processors in June and they haven't. I wonder if this Nokia patent infringement is having something to do with it? They have asked that Lenovo products be banned from import into the US until Lenovo complies with Nokia's demands. HP is apparently also involved.

Not available in the UK either, with the new 4000 amd prcessors anyway, which is a shame.

Just a side note: Despite the great spec, Ideapad is still the consumer lineup of Lenovo, so don't expect Thinkpad (which is the business lineup) level build quality and QC.

"Xiaoxin Pro 13" is the name of this laptop in china

For anyone interested in this laptop, specs and performance- you can see it reviewed in Chinese. Just search youtube for '4800U pro 13' (that is how it is named there), and use autotranslate. Overall- the specs are good, and performance is stellar- but I would want a 400+Nits screen- so if Lenovo does not come up with it, HP X360 13 with the 400Nits screen option is preferable for me.

Where are those specs listed? I keep seeing bite click titles here but no actual spec sheets? Same happened with yoga slim 7. There is no model with 4800u cpu. More bite click bullshit.

Why so angry? There's literally a source in the article (PSREF) from which you can also find a Yoga Slim 7 model with the 4800u.

Bite click, lol  ;D

Yes!!! Great specs
I would trade the QHD 300 nits with an FHD 400/500 though but 300nits isn't enough when traveling.
Bad webcam again looks like. (720p seriously).
If thermal is good (no throttling) and better screen, that's my next laptop.
There is a reference for France so let's wait...

Finally it is getting the Ryzen 4000 chipset. I was planning to buy the Intel version, I won't mind waiting another couple of months for this to be available in India. But I've certain doubts in my mind. Will Lenovo dump the QHD screen for a less fascinating FHD screen, just like Acer did it with it's Swift 3 Ryzen 4000 variant? Also, looking forward to a very comprehensive review from you guys. Good luck.               

But does it have replaceable RAM, or is it soldered on?

#1 - Yes, it dont have fingerprint scanner but it has IR camera for Windows Hello.

Any 16x10 or 3x2 aspect (or even 4x3 which doesn't exist anymore) screens in the market are a good thing.  The whole lets turn computers into glorified wide screen 16x9 TV screens is such a waste.     Add in a 4800u option and it gets damn interesting.    But alas I'm in the states,  but I will say I won't be buying another 16x9 notebook if i can help it.    Right now the 3:2 aspect Acer Spin 5 13.5 is high on my list.   Hope its in your review pipeline. 

Performance is exactly where it stands out. It's cooling solution allows the CPU to run at 37.5w under performance mode -- probably better than any other 13.3 inch notebook.

Interesting choices. I would have preferred a FHD 400 nit screen to QHD 300 nit one on a 13" laptop, and the lack of any biometric authentication is a potential drawback. Also wish this was a 2-in-1 Yoga instead of an Ideapad, since there's already HP Envy x360 13" with AMD 4000 on the market and that's a big hit.

At the end, performance and price will determine consumer reception. No doubt the 16:10 display will initially draw some folks, but ultimately the cooling design is the real key to convincing people like me to buy an AMD laptop.
