The exclusion of a Thunderbolt 5 is what broke my heart about this tablet especially after the impressive new XG Mobile reveal :(

Aren't they comparing only the AI processing power to 4090 and not overall performance? It is quite obvious that 120W APU with iGPU can't compete with 450W dGPU. It will take some years before even any 120W dGPU has 4090 kind of performance.

Thunderbolt belongs to Intel, you won't see Thunderbolt 5 for now with AMD chipsets

I think it's a very interesting product for 95% of laptop users, I think it's the path that started with the surface.
We all know that a 10W iGPU will never surpass a 400W dGPU, but it's more than enough for 95% of the population looking for mobile productivity in both CPU + iGPU, and this is only offered by AMD. If you want the most powerful, it's better to build a PC with RTX 5090 to work on 3D editing and video, but this AMD tablet is perfect for the next 10 years.

They butchered this device by limiting its memory to 32 GB. At the very least, give it 64 GB, so it becomes not immediately obsolete, and so it may actually use this chip for what it is advertised for, decently running AI workloads.

The Asus website lists it as having 128GB max capacity and various CES showroom videos show it being able to allocate up to 96GB to the GPU via Armoury Crate or the BIOS.
