Upcoming $1,000 AMD Strix Halo laptop runs Cyberpunk 2077 at 72 fps on iGPU, with CPU performance close to Ryzen 9 9955HX3D, all at 65 W TDP

YouTuber ETA PRIME goes hands-on with the upcoming AIM Max+, a new gaming laptop powered by AMD's latest Strix Halo APU. With a focus on delivering power on a budget, it could very well be one of the most interesting product launches in recent weeks.

This laptop is most probably fake. The "manufacturer's" website not working by the time the video went live, since then domain became is unused and the only Google search result about the laptop is the video in question. Allegedly the laptop is supposed to launch in October, but so far it looks like a kickstarter scam.

A price of $1k would be cutting the price of the platform 50-60% not even a year after release. If Framework's desktop with a significantly lesser 385 Max is $1100, I just don't see how this could possibly be $1000. Best case scenario for a 395 Max is $1500.

ETA Prime only says what the company tells him to. Dude is flat out negligent in his shilling.

1000$ is very very unlikely

It's impossible that this will be 1000$. It would destroy the entire low-mid budget laptop market, and even some of the high-end ones.

Also, there's no chance the TDP was only 65W.
In other videos from reviewers who tested with the Flow Z13, the same AI MAX+ 395 needed around 80W of CPU power alone to reach the scores achieved in this video, even with good cooling. The ZBook Ultra performed similarly for around the same wattage supplied. Though, I can't deny that it's still crazy performant for the wattage supplied.
