Editorial Notes
The AMD Gen 6 brings Ryzen PRO 8000 (Hawk Point, Zen 4) — a genuine architectural upgrade over the Zen 3 rebadges in Gen 4. DDR5 memory and improved power efficiency make this the strongest AMD L13 convertible to date.
Hawk Point is a Zen 4 refresh — good but not the latest Zen 5. 16 GB RAM cap still present. No Thunderbolt.
Expected at CHF 800-1100. Strong value proposition for Swiss SMBs wanting modern AMD convertible.
Community-supported. Ryzen PRO 8000 (Hawk Point) has strong open-source driver support. AMD stack is reliable.
