It's not a proart solution, so I'm not surprised by that. It also isn't a gaming machine, so I think it's targeting AI people.

No excuse for putting an HDMI 1.4 port. Just ridiculous.

It's $700. Best Buy has had tons of laptops in this price range in the past few years with solid panels. Typically OLED, though.

So the machine cannot do anything that would necessitate the need for a higher speed port, and you think there's no excuse for that? Cool Story Bro!

Look, I don't understand this laptop at all, let alone the pricing. To me anything below the AI 365 is mostly a waste of money.

Oh that's right, you are the definition of most users. The ones that need haptic touchpad, 20 hours of battery life, bleeding-edge CPU benchmark scores off the charger, 100+ FPS in Cyberpunk on ultra @ 8K off integrated graphics and no fan noise, 32GB of RAM bare minimum, 100% SRGB, 2000 nits in HDR, and all under 2 pounds with the charger for under a grand. That's right, sorry we all forgot who you are! Nothing less than AI 365 for YouTube and checking email!

You're just upset because I'm right. This isn't great at gaming, is never going to game where it would need more than a 60 Hz screen, and it isn't designed for creativity either, as the screen doesn't even have the spectrum to match that. At best this is a basic laptop that is over priced, or a cheap AI machine that can handle AI with the higher end machines. Either way, it's stuck in no man's land for most people. So yeah, nobody is going to pay $700 to check email and surf the web, if they see something else for $200-$300 less.

Oh and umm, I returned an AI 370 because it kept locking up and stuck with a Mac, so no I don't need any of that doomer.
Also, judging by the -1 deal rating, I don't think I'm alone in this line of thinking. 😂
