hey guys
so as the title says, my old laptop kinda sucks so planning on getting a new one. i am not necessarily in a hurry though.
it is mostly going to be used for office stuff, maybe even a convertible but above all it should be small and portable (something like 13,3", <1,5kg , <1,7mm height)
now i was thinking to get an Iris XE equipped i7 which would have the added benefit of enabling some light gaming (considering that you cannot really get your hands on AMD here atm anyway).
however, the more reading i did the more feasible it seems to wait for Jan. 2022 and AMD to finally ditch vega for rdna2 ryzens.
tl;dr: buy intel equipped iris laptop now or wait for rembrandt?

iris has driver issues for gaming, intels gaming division is a fraction of what amd/nvidia have and it shows on the portable handhelds using intel with flickering, locksups and crashes to some older games not even starting . Why do u need to wait when there is plenty of 2500u-3500u-4500u-5500u combinations to choose from new/second hand that u can then resell when a few months of warrantly left at 80% the value
my 3500u runs everything i want to game just fine with just 8 gigs of ram dual channel
amd has unbeatable value atm in the 300-600 prize range

big warning, i went for a 14 inch for increased portability/battery life, and im regretting it, its just a bit to tiny to really enjoy a game on as im used to big screens all my life ,even smaller u will need eagle eyes to see anything in a game with laptop on ur lap, luckily the amd power is plenty to hook up to any full hd big panel or tv and enjoy it that way

thanks for the reply.
i see your point. but as i said i am not really in a hurry per se to get a new laptop. and i know my laziness, i probably couldnt be arsed to resell the laptop just a couple months after buying it. so i figure ill just wait and see what AMD cooks up next.
