Nobody interested in a (relatively) "cheap" laptop? I got one for my Mom, to upgrade/replace her Lenovo 14" with an A4/A6 Stoney Ridge APU. The Zen architecture (even limited to 2C/2T, pity that they didn't enable 4T on these), should still be noticeably faster / snappier. Runs great at VSR 1440P res., although I set it to VSR 1080P for Mom. (older eyesight). Native panel is 720/768P. When you're actually doing something with the laptop, it turbos to 2.3-2.6Ghz. Didn't really notice if it's passively cooled, or if it has a fan, when I was working on it.
My HP 14" slim Ryzen R3 3200U laptop (which is basically a 2C/4T version), did have a fan, and was fairly noisy when it spun up, which it did in alternating periods. Slightly annoying, but apparently essential for performance. I didn't notice any sort of noisy fan on the laptop in OP, but I doubt that it's passively-cooled.
Also, I didn't disassemble it, so I don't know if the RAM is soldered (doubtful), or only has one or two SO-DIMM slots. My HP 14" slim from last year, had two SO-DIMM slots, with one filled with a 4GB DDR4 SO-DIMM, which I upgraded to 2x8GB DDR4. (Walmart's site said that the 4GB was "non-upgradeable", but that turned out to be incorrect.)
