Just got my AMD 7840u batch 5 delivered today, out-of-box experience was so nice. Took less than 30 mins to assemble.

I replaced the thermal paste with a Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet graphene pad after taping off the capacitors with kapton tape.

Swapped the Wi-Fi card for the Intel AX210 just in case to prevent any funny wifi or driver issues with the mediatek.

Installed Linux Mint and switched to the 6.6.1 mainline kernel, so far so good.

96GB RAM works fine out of the box at 5600.

Ran "stress -c 16" for 30 minutes, CPU temp didn't go above 80c.

Laptop feels super premium, trackpad and keyboard feel better than I was expecting. There's a little screen wobble as expected but it's not too bad.

Thank you so much for this read. I'm batch 8 amd and am jumping into Linux blind when it gets here. Mint Cinnamon specifically. You're also I believe only the 2nd person to mention using those 48gb x2 sticks so that was neat to see again. I'm tempted for the silliness aspect.
