No, not worth it at all. Lunar lake laptops offers way more bang for the buck if you must go Intel, even if having 4 "P" cores is a little weak in 2026.

Doubt anytime soon. Typically the prices drop when next hardware arrives. Don't think nova lake for laptops is coming till Q1 2027.

On a positive note, since PTL is more efficient, it's allowing a higher allocation of wattage to the dgpu than previous last gen laptops could..
