2 weeks later - my wife said "this is my favorite laptop I've ever owned". No quirks, only wish the wal marts around me in Austin weren't out of stock now so I could get one myself.
I ended up picking up one for my wife last Sunday. Lasts 8 hours or so doing Google Hangouts/Email/Chrome/Word. She's happy as a replacement for her 1st gen Razer Blade Stealth.
I only wish it had 16gb of ram, not sure I could get by on 8gb for VS 2017 + a vm or 2
Anyone else excited about the Matebook with Ryzen, hoping it does have "12 hour battery life". Loving my HP ENVY Ryzen laptop, but the battery life is 4 hours max.
Not seeing an option to make it public (first time using PC Mark)
Skydiver results (compared to my old HP Kaveri Elitebook):

Picked two up last night (one for me and one for the wife), the 1TB mechanical that comes with it is a huge let down coming from a Razer Blade Stealth.
That being said it looks fairly trivial to swap in a NVMe drive and add another 8gb of ram (swap out the 2 4gb sticks). Will do before and...
After being on Team AMD for the last 10 years I switched back to nVidia. I ended up getting a Gigabyte Waterforce WB Xtreme Edition 11G.
Setup my loop, radiator etc. Love how quiet it is even under load, got it overclocked a bit and am getting 20-30% higher FPS in previously CrossFired...
In process of packing up for a move and clearing out stuff I either forgot I had or won't need in the new place. As I find more stuff I'll update this thread.
I accept Paypal as payment. All items will be shipped either UPS or FedEx and insured within a day or two of receipt (to give me time...
Shame they don't invite local Austin enthusiasts to these events - would have been neat to have been there.
Though I have to say when I was at the Austin Fry's this Saturday the AMD motherboard section has expanded considerably since Ryzen launched.
Having been working in this particular field, it is a serious issue, but there are a couple good solutions that do work (albiet with cons). Hopefully they can conjure up a good solution. Simply whitelisting is far a good solution.
Played on the new patch last night till 1AM, Creator Update ran over night and now am getting the dreaded "Black Screen" problem. Did all the troubleshooting - no dice.
I was a Windows Phone 7 day 1 adopter (November 2010) with a Samsung Focus after using an iPhone 3G it was refreshing and fast. Picked up WCF and Windows Phone 7 development over a few weekends (I was already a C# developer) and made 10+ apps for Windows Phone over the years. The problem was...
Updated my Asus Crosshair VI to bios version 902 this morning - can now run my Gskill TridentZ RGB at 3200mhz (only ever was able to run at 2133 before).
Bootup issues now resolved as well. Overall have 0 complaints now.
Been gaming on 4k for the last 2 years - albeit in varying degrees of happiness depending on the game.
While I am an AMD fanboy, if RX-Vega doesn't deliver at 4k then I'm going back to nVidia after a 10 year break (GeForce 6800 was my last nVidia card).
Glad to see TrueAudio isn't going anywhere - I use the HDMI port on my 480 to go straight to a Pioneer 7.1 receiver. Crystal clear studder free 7.1 audio in everything.
I swung by the Austin Fry's as mentioned earlier after work at around 5pm and all of the AM4 motherboards were sold out. Glad I ordered one last night.
Canceled my Amazon order.
Just got a "we are preparing to ship" email from Newegg on my 1800X. Nothing from Amazon yet. My preorder from the Austin Fry's was cancelled this morning.
