LNL is a great paper launch but I have yet to see a reasonably priced LNL laptop so far. Nowadays I can find 16GB Airs and X Elite laptops for 700-900 bucks, and once you get into 1400 territory just pay a bit more for M4 MBPs which are far superior machines.

And also, they compete in the same price bracket as Zen 5, which are more performant with not that much worse battery life.

LNL is too little too late.

An M4 Macbook Pro 14 with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB storage is $2,199... a Lunar Lake with the same specs is $1199. [0]

Those are not nearly comparable specs.
With a build quality planets apart.
My point is it's not "just pay a bit more".
Yeah because it's an ASUS product. They make garbage.
