The first Ice Lake laptops launched late last year for around $1500 USD. Will the first Tiger Lake laptops be just as pricey? We're hopeful that the outstanding performance-per-dollar of current AMD Ryzen Zen 2 laptops will persuade OEMs to launch Tiger Lake models at lower prices.

Who cares how much they will cost? They are Intel, so you will give them a score close to 90% in your reviews, convincing the random visitor that they justify their price.
Intel doesn't need to make price parity with AMD, GET THAT IN YOUR MIND.
Intel can get away with selling tigerlake at much higher prices because of Intel brand....
Laptops with Ice Lake are expensive cause Intel failed to deliver CPUs in big quantities on market. Nothing surprising that manufacturers decided to use limited CPU supplies only in laptops from premium category. Now Intel claims to resolve manufacturing problems so it should be a bit better.
Let's wait for the real objective tech reviews first. Prices and availability later.
If Tiger Lake didn't bring IPC gains then what is real-world CPU frequency? Those Intel marketing slides showcase some vague max TDP performance.
The same goes for Tiger Lake iGPU vs MX 350. Also, Thunderbolt 4 is a curious topic, I'll take Ryzen over 2 lanes crippled Thunderbolt like in ThinkPad T series.
Dont compare premium laptops like XPS, Spectre with vivobook.There will be cheap inspiron, pavillion and other brand laptops with Tiger lake. I bought a ice lake i5(HP) for just $280 at costco last year. While that was not a norm but ice lake laptops were common around 500-600. I am sure tiger lake wont be that far off.
