16GB Memory and an standard High-Res Display for $3,200.
I don't get it. When did these become a standard for "premium"?
I've had both on my laptops since 2013, switched laptops almost yearly because I'm an enthusiast, and I could buy those "premium" laptops for as low as $1,200 back then.
As a Winodws user, I want what Apple MacBooks have: the class-leading speakers, good quality microphone and DAC, unmatched touchpad, factory-calibrated display with usable color-profiles, long battery life, 100% P3 gamut, a unified software and etc,
all. for. $999, and same features are universally present on their entire lineup without cutting corners noticeably.
If a Windows laptop had all that, be user-serviceable and repairable, while having the traditional 16:9, I'd still take it for twice the price at $2,000 despite the aspect ratio that every single comment is bitching about.
A Thinkpad? Has good keyboard but comes with lottery, and apparently, supposedly has a slightly more "durable" design, but no 3rd party testing evidence available online on any of the recent models from post-2010.
Yes, I prefer the Matte Black look, Boxy soft-touch material aesthetic a lot more than everything else, but $3,200 and 4 grand+ for "Titanium"?
Well good luck with that.
