Amd has no CPUs that are powerful enough in terms of performance and power in RYZEN to compete with i7s currently for laptops. It will be fixed in the 4000 series to my knowledge and is the last area for AMD to become truly competitive again outside of AVX-512 support in the data center.
Maybe that explains it better as Asus as started switching over their end high laptops to Ryzen with the 4000 series at CES this year,
The T49x and T59x are identical in almost all specs except screen size. There is no good reason not to offer a 15.6" version of the T495. Most T590 are i5 not i7 as far as I can tell unless you order the higher spec machine explicitly. -- Len Sorensen
