AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 "Krackan Point" Offers Outstanding Value In Sub-$500 Laptops
Over the past three months we have been excitedly testing AMD's Strix Halo SoC with the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 flagship model as well as the Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 as one step below.
Recently I've been testing an AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 laptop that offers pretty impressive performance/value when considering it can be found brand new for as little as $449 USD with the HP OmniBook 5. The HP OmniBook 5 Laptop 16z-ag100 with the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 6-core/12-thread Zen 5/5C and Radeon 840M graphics was equipped with a 16-inch 1200p 300 nits panel, 16GB of LPDDR5-7500 memory, 512GB NVMe SSD, and shipped with Microsoft Windows 11 Home by default.
