Deal Details
Looks like BB is starting to put these on sale. Lower end CPU model for $850

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/adat...Id=6481288

These aren't bottom of the barrel laptops - I understand that similar specs can be had for less, key things why this stands out:
  • 1920x1200 high brightness IPS screens
  • Upgradeable RAM (2 slots, supports up to 64GB) - single 16GB stick installed by default
  • Gen4 NVME SSDs
  • Thunderbolt 4 (single port on 14" models)
  • 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports (plus one is also Thunderbolt)
  • 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports (Type A standard)
  • Can support up to 3x 4K external monitors (via 1x HDMI and 2x USB-C ports)
  • Still only 2.13 lbs

Tech specs:
  • 11th Gen Intel Core TM i5-1135G7 on base model or i7-1165G7 on the upgraded
    • Both are 4 cores/8 threads, up to 4.2Ghz or 4.8Ghz respectively
  • 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM (2 slots, upgradeable, singled 16GB stick installed)
  • 512GB Adata XPG Lite S50 SSD Gen4 NVME
  • Intel Iris Xe Graphics (arguably the weakest spot on this machine)
  • 1920x1200 high brightness screen (non-touch)
  • 1x USB-C/Thunderbolt4 port
  • 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen2 port
  • 1x HDMI
  • 2x USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A port (standard)
  • 10 Hour battery

Same specs, other than higher end CPU is $1000

The 14" Xenia gets very good reviews that I saw.

I'm looking for a 16:10 laptop with Thunderbolt to use an external GPU, this one is about perfect, but don't need it for a few months so going to wait for lower prices, or to see the updated Asus zenbook 14s. .

Is this a version of an Intel reference design?

If you are thinking about the P14E [liliputing.com], I don't believe so - since P14E is considerably heavier (and different materials). Specs wise though - yes, it's basically a reference design with all the bells and whistles and considerably lighter weight because of magnesium alloy (this) rather than aluminum (reference) based chassis.

Their Xenia 15 KC seems to be an implementation of the Intel X15 [notebookcheck.net] however.

i5-1135g7 is better than an i5-1165g7.

- Both are quad core
- Cooler
- More battery efficient
- won't throttle as much and gets steadier performance.

Thank you ! This has a lot to offer at a great price. To be honest I had never heard of this brand before but this looks great. Although with most brands putting out the new models in a few weeks —it's probably worth waiting to see what they have to offer —unless you need one now. One thought is Dell's trademark counsel might want to take a hard look at "XPG" as compared to XPS

I don't understand how this is a deal....

It is not AMD
It has no dedicated GPU
Can't run dual core RAM.


The good....
OK, it is light... who cares.. or at least I do not care.

This looks way over priced for what it is.

For a crappy 4-core CPU? There must be a sucker born every minute. Specs aren't great, CPU sucks, etc. Plenty of better cheaper alternatives with much faser CPUs.

Note, this has a single 16GB RAM stick installed. Add an additional 16GB 3200 stick and​ you have 32GB of fast dual channel RAM.

This is a pretty fast, light notebook that does everything well except heavy gaming and multicore tasks. It don't think everybody out there should buy only computers that can do those tasks.

Laptops with 8-core CPUs, that are cheaper AND faster in single core?

Are they 2.13lbs?

OK....

So how much will 16GB stick cost you?

It is still not AMD and most people will see no benefit with 32GB of RAM vs 16GB of RAM and you would see a small benefit if it ran in dual core.

No way can I say this is a deal.

There are a few Ryzen 7 laptop deals out their, I fee these deals are better value. ​

I have a 15.6" ryzen 5700 HP Pavilion 16GB RAM (2x8) that is very capable but it's not going to be used for what this would be. So the difference is $250 and I think this 14" 16:10 2.13 lb laptop with good battery could well earn its keep. It it a deal, depends on if you are even looking in its category or not.
