What worries me is the "pretty expensive part" and "very niche audience".. we already have $1500 handhelds and $2500 laptops.. this is looking like an Max or Ultra apple APU.. which are like in $4000 machines.

If this going to be their last device from their hardware division, is this going to be subsidized at all? Even their own subsidized Xbox series x had a price increase and is almost $1k now.

Also, where are people getting the idea this is going to be found in $1000-$1500 range? That just seems way too good to be true for an entire system this powerful to be that cheap.

The specs alone indicate rtx 5080 level hardware (in raster, faster in RT) in a 408 mm^2 mega APU. This is the roughly the same size as strix halo except on TSMC 3nm instead of 4nm. Plus 48 GB of GDDR7 memory.

I'm expecting strix halo pricing minimum here, so like $3000-$4000 unless there is serious subsidy going on but haven't seen any evidence of that yet. Even then, $2500 with gamepass & copilot subscription for years..

Das Display ist 13,6", 2560 x 1664 Pixel, 225 PPI, IPS mit 519,3 cd/m². Die Akkulaufzeiten sind WLAN 16:11, aber WLAN maximale Helligkeit 6:39 oder 41%.

Interessant, das ist prozentual deutlich weniger als erwartet trotz IPS. Zwar sind 6:39 immer noch brauchbar, aber manche anderen Geräte haben bei maximaler Helligkeit deutlich längere Laufzeiten. Ich vermute, dass ein entscheidender Faktor ist, ob ein Display energiesparend ist. Die Auflösung dürfte nicht so bedeutend sein.
