Stupid google translate (it best google AI!!!) ))): Officially, Zen4 Phoenix supports 5600 and 256GB RAM 128+128. But manufacturers can recover and limit the capabilities of SOC in BIOS intentionally for the marketing goals of promoting different series of models. Unfortunately, since 2016, the consortium of electronics manufacturers intentionally blocked the capabilities for patch BIOS by entering the digital sign of the firmware, which is verified with the public part of the key recorded in the BIOS chip. It is impossible to get around this procedure even with the programmer. But thanks to the hackers, part of the private keys of manufacturers and Intel flowed into public access to different series laptops and gadgets. Recently, many keys from MSI have flowed into dozens of laptop's series. If we do not update the bios (then the public part of the firmware signature check key will also be updated), then you can unpack the image of the bios, correct the necessary parameters and pack it back, signing by manufacturer private key if you have for a specific series. And the chip will flash such a firmware image as the original from the manufacturer. Otherwise, there is only an attempt to reverse engineering at the dump bios on the management of some parameters at the NVRAM level of register, which are still available. On the AMD, you can easily enter the extended (or engineering version for first access level) BIOS using special flash drive (like github.com/SmokelessCPUv2/SmokelessRuntimeEFIPatcher). And there sometimes you can directly correct the maby parameters blocked by the manufacturer for usual bios settings.

I understand it comes with ddr5-4800 mhz memory but is it capable of doing 5,600 MHz ? at least that is what i understand based on the writing.

These are all questions to the conscientiousness, competence of the authors of reviews on NB. Gradually, a wave of questions that are not answered on the merits, lead to a complete loss of confidence in the reviews... The same thing happened in the past on a lot of sites.

In addition to my last post, why is the color gamut differenet between identical monitors?

I don't understand the monitor test results and comments. This laptop uses the exact same panel as the ProArt 16X, however, the numbers are different.  Both laptops use the Samsung SDC4178 ATNA60BX01-1 panel, however, the brightness and color measurements are different.  In the ProArt review you said there were some serious color error issues.  The Vivobook does not have these errors? This just doesn't make sense to me.

Quote from: Ednumero on July 27, 2023, 01:47:25 Quote from: Ednumero on July 27, 2023, 01:47:25 You write nonsense, AMOLED screens for laptops are the most dangerous for vision today, and especially for children. They should be legally prohibited in all countries. And children generally need to be deprived of access to AMOLED screens. For today's children, only VA (the best option for reading black text on a white background)) / IPS can be given to use. Both options are highly desirable with a quality A-TW polarized coating. And of course, only semi-matte anti-reflective screens, because. glossy in 90% of cases of use in everyday life and in the office are very tiring due to monstrous glare. They are safe for eyesight, subject to high-frequency PWM and compliance with the ergonomics of the workplace - to give rest to the eyes. In smartphones, there is also nothing better than IPS, and there is more than enough of it. Everything else is the contempt of corporations for the health of people for the sake of profit.

Quote The color resolution is the same as that of a standard IPS panel, with one red, one green, and one blue emitter per pixel. They're just moved around slightly. I'm with you on contrast, delta-E, and PWM, but this isn't the same situation as mobile phone OLEDs that omit subpixels. We need to focus that criticism towards those displays; there are plenty of valid criticisms you point out about this panel already.
