This year's Pavilion Aero 13 models finally get the AMD Zen 4 treatment, as HP provides APU options up to a Ryzen 7 8840HS. With the increased requirements for AI processing, the base configuration will include at least 16 GB of LPDDR5x-6400 RAM instead of 8 plus at least 512 GB SSD storage. Availability is scheduled for May with prices starting at $800.https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-refreshes-Pavilion-Aero-13-ultrabook-with-AMD-Ryzen-8040HS-processors.807653.0.html
I have the 2021 version of this laptop and it's been rock solid. Just put Ubuntu 23.10 on it a few months ago and it works perfectly. Got tired of Windows 11 and I'm done with Microsoft for good I think. Edge and Copilot were the final nails in the coffin.
Looking for a good light AMD Ryzen based laptop (best Linux experience ) with a ~4K display and 120Hz screen. Doesn't need to be a powerful machine graphics-wise.
