If I hadn't just purchased a for-parts T460s & everything else necessary to cobble together a functioning machine, then this would be my first choice. I'm resolved to no longer purchase new Intel machines going into the future, so Ryzen, ARM, RISC-V, & POWER machines are what I'm watching closely.
Those laptops are not identical, and I am sure that each of them has its own best use case. I am not trying to say that the new laptop is bad, I just want to lament the fact that the CPU speed no longer grows. My C++ programs take way too long to compile!
It's interesting to see they mention that the FHD display option supports FreeSync and that the HDMI port is at the 2.0 spec. I look forward to seeing reviews hit soon to see if anyone takes notice.
Not necessarily if you appreciate battery life, that resolution should help at that. It seems it arrives in early june with a starting price of $1,089 [1]. If that corresponds to the 768p screen it certainly is quite expensive.
