Not sure why would I preorder a laptop of all things. It looks interesting, but I’d rather wait until the reviews are out.

Because there’s a hardware shortage going on. I can see why somebody who needs a new machine commits early.
Also, with hardware being now more expensive, just being able to swap parts for upgrades or repairs is way more appealing than before.

Not to mention they don't spend time with marketing fluff about AI, which in the current market is winning them some clients.

But I also think the fact that they have been here for a long time now, and they got the pro backward compatible with the old 13 means people trust them now. They delivered.

I'd pre-order one, but not with RAM. It might go up more, but I'm hoping not...
