I stand corrected, looks like a great laptop, if you have twice as much to spend as I did on my laptop with 16GB RAM, 2 512GB SSDs, 120hz 16’ screen, NVIDIA 1660 ti and a numpad 3 years ago.
I mean ultimately what you’re paying for here is the modularity of the device. Some people like the idea that they won’t have to junk or RMA the whole laptop when something goes bad or no longer meets their needs. The fact that you can get more I/O and storage functionality out of the 4/6 expansion bays down the road is probably worth it to at least a few people. I appreciate that support is at least implied for bigger and better CPUs/GPUs down the road, and I know a few people in my industry who would appreciate the ability to swap out an additional USB-C, HDMI, or DisplayPort port depending on where they’re presenting and what kind of equipment they have.
Straight away I can see wasted space next to the keyboard which could be used for a numpad
You can have a numpad. Check the review.
@avidamoeba @JackGreenEarth you can have the numbad now and remove it later. And put it back. Total flexibility. Can’t wait to have it delivered
Lucky bastard. I can’t justify a 16, sticking to my peasant 13. 🥲
@avidamoeba well, that is a very capable machine too. Still a lot better then most common laptops 🥳
