When will there be a laptop with an AMD Halo processor that could be cheaper and offer practically the same performance?
AMD has the most powerful APU on the market, something many users dream of, but I don't understand why more manufacturers are opting for the AMD Ryzen Halo APU, whose iGPU is as powerful as an RTX 5070 but with minimal power consumption and no risk of overheating.

You can get Strix Halo laptops for a bit cheaper than that Acer (still over $2.5k though), but battery life on this one running on arc igpu (so low power usage) will still be better than Strix Halo.

RTX 5070 will offer way better performance unless you need more than 8GB VRAM (very bad value card). Strix Halo is overly expensive for gaming laptops, and it looks like vendors aren't interested.
