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

      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.

    With talking Ai coming along will desk and laptops maybe even mobile phones become
    one of those old technologies we used to use… like records & CD’s or floppy disks
    .
    are we looking at a lovely piece of Engineering which is becoming out of date as we look at it ??

    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.
