For what this is and the size of it the performance is amazing and really not that bad of a choice because nothing would come close in that form factor. You couldnât tell me last year this was even possible and if this is any indication of how much of a big Fuck you to Nvidia this has to be.

For the sake of pedantry and correctness; itâs not Vega.
All the Intel G series CPU+GPU chips are using Polaris 22, and theyâve made the conscious choice to market it as Vega simply because of the HBM. Itâs still GCN 4.0 with none of Vegaâs added features.

Wish youâd let me know. Iâm sitting on a mountain of laptop parts. 4GB and 8GB PC3L SO-DIMMs, 2940XM, 1TB 2.5 HDDs, etc. Iâve been pulling apart 2012-2014 era laptops for the last 3 months and the parts are piling up.
Just sold a pair of Inspiron 15 5547s with 16GB each as a matter of fact. Needed to clear some inventory.

parts are cheap enough on ebay so is fine. though i mean i did post it here a lot but is whatever i guess.
in any case, I grabbed a 2670qm for like $50 shipped, some 8gb stick of ram for $40, extra battery was $20.
