Lmao, yes. And Lenovo has more variety, but they still did this to a perfectly good Slim 7 (for NA) with an AMD chip and naturally everyone hates that, and doesn’t want anything to do a crappy green cars with all the extra idle draw or software shenanigans from it. So stupid.You just know ASUS gonna stick a 35W chopped green abortion in there to make people suffer just that extra bit. In usable DRAM capacity SKUs at least.
I see.CES'25 is where they dump the rest of the lineup (your fire ranges and halos and krakens yaddayadda).
The answer is GLORIOUS CHINA.Lmao, yes.

Wait what?Alas, no aa64 dGFX drivers for Windows now, so gotta wait till like 2025 or so.
Qualcomm drivers work.No 3D acceleration on anything arm64 until next year on Windows
My chickens have already hatched vs Doug. I have receipts on this website on LPDDR, storage and entry level pricing from QC vs Apple (in particular Apple but others too) and that it wouldn’t be a paper launch. In fact I come off looking even better than I anticipated on those metrics, they won the XPS and have managed a Best Buy setup at launch (yes Best Buy sucks but it’s a way to get to the masses) and a laptop with 32GB for $1299, etc.You know what my mom always told me?
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
YepQualcomm drivers work.
Nominally. But yeah you gotta wait for aa64 drivers from NV/AMD. Until then, enjoy Adreno
God it pains me I know this is true. HP and Dell the only hope.The answer is GLORIOUS CHINA.
Oh I know. They’d probably do it even on the Vivobook I posted and Jensen would make a few bucks from something I’d disable immediately.Frankly they'd plaster 35w tumors on Hamoa laptops too, if they could.
lol yea.Alas, no aa64 dGFX drivers for Windows now, so gotta wait till like 2025 or so.
Lmao do you think Adroc is a Qc fan? He’s just saying, objectively, they work, at a barely passing grade."akshually the drivers of ARM manufacturers werk but not the ones from non ARM manufacturers"
They make great modems and their phone SOCs are varying degrees of good (sans SD810), but the way they treat PC as a market is deeply unserious.Lmao do you think Adroc is a Qc fan
Here’s the kicker, that Dell Tandem OLED is limited is 400 nits in SDR. It’s no where as close as Apple’s custom Tandem OLED.XPS 13 with the X Elite and a 16/512 + tandem OLED panel. $1499
You really really really don't want to blast more than 300 with a high APL on any OLED.It’s no where as close as Apple’s custom Tandem OLED
Well it’s much much more serious now. But yes, everything pre-Hamoa is a total abortion and they deserve the crap they get for it. I would agree it’s still not at the level of dedication AMD and Intel have, partially by design (QC is not going to get into desktop chips or 256-bit bus stuff) and yeah they can’t be out shaking everyone down and not every PC needs a modem, which they backed down on lolThey make great modems and their phone SOCs are varying degrees of good (sans SD810), but the way they treat PC as a market is deeply unserious.
Apple’s custom tandem is much more expensive and in iPads that ship with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD with an 11 inch display for $999. I sure hope it’s better.Here’s the kicker, that Dell Tandem OLED is limited is 400 nits in SDR. It’s no where as close as Apple’s custom Tandem OLED.
They had the perfect opportunity to carve netbook niche back to life.But yes, everything pre-Hamoa is a total abortion and they deserve the crap they get for it
Not until I see major channel presence from them.Well it’s much much more serious now.
nah, tandem oled is really efficient. The reason its used in first place is efficiency and high brightness levels.You really really really don't want to blast more than 300 with a high APL on any OLED.
Unless you hate battery life.
It's still an OLED and high luminance at high APL turns it into housefire.tandem oled is really efficient
It's an OLED, it's still gonna struggle with power at high APL.The reason its used in first place is efficiency and high brightness levels.
I think 400 nits + more battery at $1499 is vastly better than $1699 for another 600 nits. Apple has more volume too.nah, tandem oled is really efficient. The reason its used in first place is efficiency and high brightness levels.

it’s a pain to plug things in all the time.Some people make it seem like they live life of adventure, like safaris, climbing Kilimanjaro.
While in reality, they spend 99% of their life withing the reach of power outlet.
Last time they tried to enter the PC market, their name alone wasn't worth much.
YepTheir entry into the PC market last time was a pretty well kept secret outside of forums like this one. This time they have OEMs that are selling their stuff, Microsoft is (at least for now) not treating WoA like a red headed stepchild, and the AI hype will make buyers looking to buy due to that hype do a little more comparison shopping than they would have a year or two ago.
Yeah, with OLED black levels 400nits is perfectly gine (even quite decent) on a laptop.And it doesn’t really matter, even with tandem 400 nits in OLED is actually great.
