Price is king here, and rumors suggest it will be around $2,500, which seems absolutely insane for a laptop without a dGPU.
I prefer to wait for AMD Zen 6 and Nova Lake and start saving, because Intel is currently selling its processors at exorbitant prices, which I won't allow.
There's a lot of competition now because there are five manufacturers: Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, Apple, and Nvidia.
If they want to sell their products, they'll have to compete on price.

Correct, but it's about the memory bandwidth, not memory bus width, tho. Using LPCAMM2 allows for a 52% increase in memory bandwidth (8533 MT/s / 5600 MT/s).

Quote from: BWC on Today at 06:38:15Has there been a national bus width censorship campaign that I've been unaware of? Yes, it is but it's not like it was ever not known or hidden.

Also, you say this like it's a bad thing. Small bus width means better battery life. Until we get to LPDDR6. Apparently, according to phawx it will allow parts of memory to completely power down / off which will do wonders for battery life. Maybe then we will have 256 bit bus x86 with reasonable battery life.

128-bit bus also means smaller and thus cheaper chip.

Apple's M Pro is 256-bit (I think there's a 128-bit, which is still called Pro, tho) and has great battery life.

I'm not an Apple fan and I know I'm comparing apples to oranges here, but check out Apple MacBook Air (also available as Refurbished M3/M4 on Apple's website), but even a new MacBook Air M5 is much cheaper. The Air has a great display (500 nits, 100% DCI-P3), better battery life, no fans and is arguably better looking.

Lenovo has launched another compact laptop featuring user-upgradeable LPCAMM2 memory. Offered with Intel Panther Lake processors and optional discrete graphics too, the ThinkPad P14s i G7 will be available with a 120 Hz and 3K display too plus a 75 Wh battery.
