I would be really grateful if someone could help me find a laptop with the following specifications.
Ryzen 7 4700U (or Ryzen 7 4800U)
NO dedicated graphics card
16GB (dual channel) RAM
500GB SSD (or larger, but no HDD)
Bright and good display (100% sRGB would be nice)
Budget: not important, but around 1000 euro
Sorry, unfortunately the notebook manufacturers seem to have drunk all the LACK, and meanwhile are only installing a single ram stick in the laptops!

That would come closest
Sometimes you have to take a close look twice, because it is not uncommon for the RAM to be composed of a soldered and a socketed part.
In the "budget area", it was unfortunately already widespread in the past to install only 1 instead of 2 modules ex works. For AMD APUs and SoCs with integrated Radeon - iGPU, of course, a disaster.
But I also think it's awesome, because the soldered part could not be replaced in the event of a defect.
With Ryzen 4000 - Books, out of miserliness at the wrong end it seems that massive shenanigans are actually being driven again, if I ever do

look here. It makes my body grim.
AMD Ryzen 4000 (Renoir) supports LPDDR 4266, and I find it cheeky to use only DDR3-3200 with almost all offers. And as you say, then often only one module, and quite outrageously then sometimes even completely soldered and not at all expandable. 😲
Ddr3 is nowhere installed
You can forget 100% sRGB in the price range if you also want the strong Ryzen 7 and 16 GB RAM.
You're more likely to be around 65%.
Here are all models that fit your other requirements:
If I have been seeing such rubbish for months researching notebooks with AMD Ryzen 4000 - SoCs:
https://www.heise.de/..._unbekannt a current offer overview
, then I feel sick and I would like to advise against such notebooks for now.
Even with a Ryzen 5-4500u, I would fundamentally insist on LPDDR 4266 in dual channel mode instead of letting myself be fed off with such an APU with a limp DDR4 - 3200.
Even the OEM memory disaster in systems with the AMD A10-7850K + 8 AMD GCN cores (512 shader units) has clearly shown the potential that was already lost with the installation of DDR3-1600 in the single channel compared to DDR3 - 2133 in the dual channel in the combined performance of this APU.
In the A12-9800K, the same APU including iGPU with a bit more self-clocking (844 instead of 720 MHz GPU) and DDR4-2400 (dual-channel) increased by another 10 to 12%.
The Radeon R7-Series with 8 CUs @ 720 Mhz in the A10-7850K, even with 2 × DDR4-2400, nevertheless performed an average of 25 to 35 less than the combination of an Athlon x4-860K + Radeon R7-250, depending on the scenario with also 8 CUs and 1 GB GDDR5.
However, the Vega 6 - iGPU in an R5-4500u clocks almost twice as high as the Radeon 7 (8 CUs) in the A12-9800K, and therefore memory transfer rate is even more important than before with AMD's new Renoir SoCs.
Yes, stop prescribed. It should be called DDR4-3200.
Many thanks. Is the difference between ~ 65% and 100% sRGB very big?
Depends on your perception and your application.
