The laptop demonstrates the capabilities of AMD's new APUs rather well with good performance and a healthy battery life.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Thin-Asus-Zenbook-S-16-OLED-laptop-with-latest-Ryzen-AI-9-365-APU-and-24-GB-RAM-drops-to-lowest-price-ever.914658.0.html
How do US retailers manage to sell at these prices? I'm genuinely curious. Same entry config laptop is 1649€ in Germany.
Converse incidents also occur. Some manufacturers try again and again to rip-off particular markets. (And the same or others do it with upgrade excesses.)

What do you think that x86 alliance was about? Intel intentionally releasing lack lustre SoCs and AMD intentionally giving scalper prices.
They know you can't do anything about it. Where you gonna go exactly? Qualcomm/Apple? And lose all that app compatibility?
They've won.
Right, but the previous concern has been about products being much more expensive in some countries than in others, as if some consumers can't convert currencies and adjust for taxes.
