I'd disagree on numpad. Highly useful for literally any situation you need to input numbers (including making calls).

This laptop is amazing. Outrageously thin and light for how powerful it is.
Has an antiglare screen.

I run autohotkey scripts from half my keyboard. Having the numpad is great because it's technically different than the top row #s. If you use your laptop for productivity or anything that can be scripted, AHK can be invaluable, and better with a num pad.

This laptop with Ryzen 7 6800U would have been excellent not only for CPU+GPU performance but also for excellent battery life.

Most likely this was designed in collaboration with Intel so they may not use Ryzen processors at all.
I'm sure you can find one with a Ryzen 7 6800U.

32gb went on sale in May/June. Was $200 off $1599. Double the Ram and storage space isn't worth the $500 difference, but maybe that will get a larger discount in the future.
This one is $1100. $200 off $1599 is $1400. It's $300 difference isn't it?

Sorry that was unclear, 32gb is $1799 regular, $200 off sale put it at $1599.

Mmm. $300 difference, I might wait. $500 difference, I may have to jump on this one. Confused

Yeah that's too much especially since that's the in major difference you're getting since you can swap out or add a second NVME drive.

Am I missing something, or are they really charging an extra $700 for literally 16GB extra soldered to the motherboard (worth perhaps $50, being generous), and a 1TB SSD instead of a 512GB SSD (worth perhaps $50 extra, again being generous)?

Same processor, same screen, etc. etc. So, $700 extra for literally $100 worth of upgrades (at retail, consumer prices).... Hmmm

Suggestion: If you must have a gram, learn to live with 16GB, and add a second 1TB SSD if it has a second m.2 slot (and I think it does). $600+ savings, and you end up with 1.5TB of storage, instead of 1.0TB in the $1800 laptop. Of course, then you will be stuck with 16GB forever... (cue echo, and ominous music)
I have been looking at various models in Costco. They are all not the same. Check them out in person. The material, feel of the keys are all very different.

The original price delta was $1799 vs 1599. $200. About in line with other manufacturers. Then they did a $100 price drop on the 16GB followed by the $400 advertised sale, where as the 32gb has only had one Costco sale so far for $200 off.

The 2-in-1 is quite a bit heavier (3.26lbs) than the regular 16" (2.6lbs), so if you don't need the 2 in 1 functionality, the regular 16" may work a lot better.
Good point! Just came back from playing around with them. The 16" is noticeably heavier. If you're traveling a lot or in school, that could become an issue. Otherwise it would be fine at home. I hate to say it, but for the second time, I liked the 16" glossy screen over the new 17" matte screen. Played the same 4K videos. Colors just seemed better and popped more. Even though it's only an inch, you do notice the larger screen. so a plus for the 17". For those that hate glossy, it's a no brainer.

Then I played the same video on the 14" Macbook Pro. Yowza!!! Not even close and blew everything there away!!! But that price.............

Note due to overheating issues the 1260AP CPau throttles and will be slower than the 1240P CPU.
