Quote from: opckieran on Today at 00:45:20It's a shame there aren't more Panther Lake X SKUS or laptops for sale.

Yeah, the only reasonably priced one seems to be the ACER Swift 16 AI @ £1499. Seems to have awful palm rejection, judging from initial reviews, unfortunately. The rest are straight up jacking up the prices to unreasonable levels 2200+.

I recently got the Acer Swift Go 16 AI with 285h, 32gb ram, and 3k Oled. It's absolutely wonderful. The newer models with the larger touchpad seem like a worse iteration to me.

You can get a MacBook Pro with longer battery life, better build quality, better trackpad, better screen and magsafe for only a couple hundred dollars more. Intel is toast.

It's not just Acer making worse changes and going downhill. Lenovo too. It's been reported that legion 2026 laptops have a notable step down in build quality from last year's 2025. Then there's poor battery life bug on yoga 2026 models that also didn't occur on previous gen 2025 models.

I guess this is what corporations get when they fire employees and think AI will be a suitable replacement for productivity & quality control..

The Core Ultra X7 358H set the bar high for Panther Lake especially in terms of performance-per-watt. The Core Ultra 9 386H, however, is a bit less impressive.
