Quote from: wonderbeef on November 07, 2022, 23:13:13This was supposed to be released in May with an AMD variant and a grey color. we got neither 6 months later... Idk what Intel did or AMD didn't do, but we should have many more choices. Intel's ancient power consumption is limiting a lot of choices this year
Correction, this laptop has been released in March 2021 and currently is on clearance sale for $999 (USD). There are multiple Ryzen variants as well that were released at around $1400 and now can be found much cheaper.
Newer 2022 version has already been released at $1600, which practically fixes all the "cons".
- upgradeable RAM up to 32GB
- USB-C charging + all USB 3.2 and USB 4.0 ports
- faster Wi-Fi, SD reader, Ethernet, etc
- better cooling system overall
- 2K webcam
- 120Hz OLED
- upto 6900HX and RTX 3060 specs
There is also a 15" 2022 version of this laptop starating at just $1149 that completely undercuts the likes of Dell XPS 15 and Thinkpad X1 Extreme.
