Biggest issue here is, so called upgrade path is stupidly expensive. Same as getting a new laptop.
@cuteraptor42

I doubt it will be widely used but at least, you can repair your new laptop with your old laptop in case anything breaks

It’s kind of hard to care when RAM prices and SSD prices are so ridiculous that buying one right now would be foolish. Wake me up when the AI bubble pops and component prices are more reasonable. Maybe then I’ll care.

I get generational leaps in performance in terms of the cpu and that 13 and 16 get their own independent refresh cycles but for something like the chassis should be announced and released at the same time for both sizes.

Upgraded the display and Mainboard, sold old ones to offset the costs ❤

@montellthewizard
April 26, 2026 at 8:27 am
WOW! A laptop for you. That’s amazing. But after checking their website, it’s those prices that are giving me the thumbs down. But it’s built for the long term, so yeah, I wouldn’t mind. 🙂
