Holy poop, an actually slick deal? on Slickdeals no less. WOW.

IPS is kind of cringe in 2026, but for $900, SOLD !


Beware the 512ssd, it's pretty limiting. Budget that in.

The soldered 16GB RAM is actually far more limiting, as the ARC GPU could run some very decent local LLMs if it had 32GB.

LOL, people who buy beginner laptops like this are running LLMs,

Hugging face enthusiasts.yummy

Yup, makes sense.


Beware buyers, currently this laptop has a firmware bug, it's not running at full power.

It WILL, but they haven't fixed it yet.

I just watched the review on that - not worth it. 16 GB is shared between GPU and system so for heavier games it's not enough.
GPU is not given enough power.
Screen is meh.

If you want this chip, get Acer with it instead, the laptop will perform better and be lighter and thinner.

I tried to find a review and couldnt, could you share?
This is a bit thick and heavy, with only 300 nit screen... but at least its a matte display. I am not getting the acer because i cant stand super glossy displays.

It's on channel Just Josh. Latest video I think! They do really nice reviews of laptops specifically.

People are absolutely ridiculous with offline AI. 512gb ssd being advertised as future proof is all you probably need to know about this 2k26 emachine

I got a ThinkPad X9 15p with this chip, double the memory and storage, and OLED for $1200 more. So quiet.
