Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 4700U now available from US$899.99 - other markets will have to wait a bit longer for the Ryzen 4000 Yoga Slim 7

I cannot fathom the stupidity of building an 8-core/16-thread laptop with only 8 GB of ram.  These days the minimum should be 1GB per thread in any laptop.  There is no indication on Lenovo's website that this laptop has a ram expansion slot; all the RAM is soldered on the motherboard.  Therefore, Lenovo is not selling a laptop, it's selling a brick.

The Ryzen 4700U is an 8C/8T processor. if you want 8C/16T you have to use the 4700H or HS processor or the new Ryzen Pro 4700. The U series they turned off multithreading to save power.

Uh, no. The 4700U is indeed 8c8t, but the 4800U is 8c16t, the 4600U is 6c12t, etc. The 4700U, 4500U (6c6t) and 4400U (4c4t) are SMT-less.
