    A performance and price competitive SKU from Intel! Who could have thought?

    Or is this some sort of fake launch that is meant to capitalize on lack of memory and SSDs?

      My gut feeling is that it’s an early attempt to win back some consumer/enthusiast mindshare before the ai bubble pops.

      That and it also kind of feels like them begging consumers to buy a computer now. I know consumer is a relatively small part of their business, but it’s probably been taking a beating with memory prices.
