I have a Ryzen 7 4700U 8 core processor with Radeon Graphics. I am running Debian Testing because Debian Stable does not have working HDMI sound drivers

This Laptop requires non-free firmware for: WiFi, Sound, Video etc. As long as you do not mind running binary blobs I recommend it. The price is good for the performance. 



Hi Timothy,
in case this Radeon video card is integrated in CPU, would you share your experience with it as usability and performance? 

Kind regards
Georgi
