It is laughable what Microsoft is calling Core 5 nowadays: 6 core 6 threads, in 2026? And only 2 of those are performance cores. This thing will struggle to keep up with 5 year old AMD R5-5500U (6c/12t) and according to benchmarks Intel has slower iGPU as well.

You could literally pay today a full launch date price for 5 year old Lenovo Yoga and still end up with better performance-wise hardware for less money.

Unbelievable Audacity
