not a great deal though... just get a rtx 4060 laptop instead. They can be found even under 1000$, and performance wise still better. I got my zephyrus g16 year and a half ago with a 155h and rtx 4060 for around 1450$ and the quality of that laptop is top tier in every aspect. So unfortunately even 1499$ at this point is too high of a price for what you get. Certainly that powerhouse strix halo chip won't be more efficient than the 155h either. So not much advantage there.

Finally! About time. But $2199!?!?

They've got to be kidding you can get high end RTX 5060 laptops for $600 cheaper. Not even budget ones which are far cheaper. This isn't even AMDs usual B.S. of -$50 to -$100 of compared to competitor products from Nvidia.

steam machine is easily going to have no competition and sell well.

They could sell it at some obscene $999 price and it'll still be far better value than any of these halo or panther lake laptops.

I don't have much hope for n1x or X2 Elite laptop pricing just judging by how absurd the market is right now.
