While it would make a lot of sense to have an 8C16T CPU with reasonable power consumption (we‘ll have to wait for reviews to confirm that) under *load*, i.e. not necessarily an idle champion, I am afraid we‘ll end up with a four core CPU from the other CPU manufacturer.
Because a photo of a bright HDR display saved in an SDR file format and likely displayed on a dim SDR display will do absolutely nothing to demonstrate its qualities. The "best" you'll get is silly photoshop trickery like the area around the laptop looking dimmer than normal, which really doesn't help. Or just terrible, muddy dynamic range compression, of course, making everything look terrible.
What kind of FALD density is it? Can I call a 4x4 back light on a LCD a mini-LED monitor? It's better than side mounted back light but certainly not what I think of as a "mini-LED display".

Hopefully a Ryzen 4000H series chip!Valantar - Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - link
Sadly no. Hopefully the next generation will make the switch.Irata - Wednesday, January 15, 2020 - link

Why no photo of the main selling point?Valantar - Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - link

But we also have bezels, camera locations/cutouts, etc. to consider. Even if the screen is turned off, an image of the front would be nice to see.GreenReaper - Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - link
Perhaps they don't want you to see how big the bezels are.PeachNCream - Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - link
Maybe that part of the laptop simply doesn't exist.shabby - Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - link
Lol content creating laptop... unless it's as thick as a brick to dissipate all that heat you'll be sleeping while it's creating stuff.rpg1966 - Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - link
Yes, research has found that it's literally impossible for anyone to use a laptop more than 11mm thick.wr3zzz - Tuesday, January 14, 2020 - link

Thank you! I was most interested in the refresh rate. Looks like I'll have more reasons to save up and wait before buying a new device...
