Why is it so hard to produce a 13" Notebook with a Ryzen 4800U, 32 GB Ram (or better just two Sockets) and two 4k/60hz Outputs?

Make one HDMI 2.0 and the other Displayport over Type-C and I'm fine.

I'd love to see a USB 3 Type-A Port aswell but that seems like too much to ask nowadays.

Lenovo X13 with Ryzen 4750U + 32 GB RAM + docking station is quite similar.

I thought this comment 8 months back was correct. I dont know the limitation nor could find something related.

This is simply not true. My current Notebook is a 32GB Ram equipped 13" Toshiba Portegé X-30-D, comes in at nearly 1KG and is available with a quad-core i7-8550U.

I'd just like a Ryzen 4800U version of my current machine, even if it means sacrificing Thunderbolt 3.

I think i'll have to wait for 5800U to come around and have USB4 though to see that happen. :(
