    Kinda fascinating how they manage to cram RTX GPUs in there, don’t know how practical it is given the obvious constraints in battery life and cooling but eh. If the new models are anything like the current models they’ll even have decent I/O (minus the ethernet port grumble grumble)

    If they offered an AMD version with a dedicated AMD GPU I’d even be half interested. But not really, my ThinkPad P14s is gonna serve me very well for the next 10 years or so.

    Macbook Air isn’t just about the weight, the processor/horsepower are a draw. I have to wonder if LG can compete with Apple’s performance, rather than just making a lighter laptop. The Macbook Air is already quite light. The Macbook Pro is a beast.

    With another AI talk to try to hype up consumers in the article, I wouldn’t be surprised this thing is pretty much like a Chromebook that has to call servers to do much things… Still sticking to older tech

    I think i will rather add a framework mainboard if i feel my 2028 Thinkpad needs an upgrade. Frame and screen are still like new and it’s quite repairable.

      Tbf half the weight is huge gains. There a big difference between carrying 2 kilograms and 1.

      This is some legitimately backwards thinking.

      I was on charge of end user devices for a company of 70k people. 70k laptops and desktops. Macs were depreciated over 3 years. Windows devices were depreciated over 5. Repair rates were equivalent, but it was a lot easier to repair the windows devices in house.

    I get the appeal of a lightweight device but i personally like a little weight as long as it is heavy because it _b … I just woke up and realized I fell asleep typing my comment. I literally bored myself to sleep.
