Perfect battery/weight ratio
But the starting price is too crazy, more than $3000 for an Intel Core i5 ? Come on

See, this is a device that stands out. But:
Quoteup to 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory
means, if you care about using this laptop for AI extensively, know that with current SOTA AI LLM Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model and its lowest usable quant, you will be restricted to about this amount of context:

Japanese laptops (Panasonic/Fujitsu/NEC/Sony/etc) have always been insanely overpriced, outside Japan anyways.

For image generation, like the was used on sites like videocardz and here, I wonder what they're using.

Like cloud models like nano banana or can be done locally with qwen image edit?
