That's crazy, $4,586 for 32 GB RAM? Asus is selling an X2 Elite Extreme laptop with 48 GB RAM for $1,699.99 and it's in stock at Best Buy today. What is HP thinking?

$4,300-$6,000+, wow you're not wrong. And that's just 32 or 64 GB of RAM.

Something has gone wrong at HP. They are also charging $7,000 for Strix Halo.

why on earth would anyone buy that shit if you can buy a macbook pro that literally looks and feels like art vs. a plastic windows laptop?

it used to be that Apple was the pricier option but I guess not anymore

The ability to run Linux properly would be worth about a $1000, if it was reality. But it isn't, so...

macos desktop aesthetics have regressed, they managed to screw the rounded corners and the colors are too much

macbook m series processor laptops have the camera notch and frankenturd look and feel

thinkpads feel better and the hinge opens all the way

Of course a 1000$+ windows laptop is going to look and feel like a low end 300$ one /s
