What a long way to say "here's a thin laptop with an Intel CPU and Windows 11"!

I like the colour, though.

Wasn't this Toshiba??

Yes but in the beginning it had another name, very much appropriate for a notebook if you ask me.

Well, the price is not convincing, as a user of this model for two years, I would say it is a decent purchase if you get a discount. Otherwise, it just get no reason no to go with traditional Elitebook. I do not know how and why they did not address those issues we already found. lol.

1. 1280*720p Low-Res Webcam as a standard, seriously? TP or HP now gets 5MP. A 1080p is a mandatory now especially under a such high price tag.
2. They did not add the 3rd USB-C like their nippon model(X83), and we gave them feedback in 2022 about their USB-C cramping at the left side and not seeing update.
3. 8GB and 256GB as a start configuration is a joke. They do offer 32GB bundle with 1TB in some EMEIA area, and 64GB LPDDR5X+2TB PCIe in BTO configuration.
4. 1920X1200 LP BOE Cheap panel, no other config available is a deal breaker, HP Elitebook give 2560X1600 500nit DC panel, crush it in every angle and even price.

I suppose their fair price(REAL TRANSACTION PRICE) should be $1299.99. (16G+512GB),and $1599.99 (32GB+1TB) Pre-taxes,Just cut that 8GB+256GB, $499.99, not a penny more. or it will just be crushed like they did 2yrs ago. (Dynabook Europe already get shut down due to undersale and impossible price) They sell thse machines by amazon third party seller for $499 8G+256GB 1250P and $1100 for 16+512GB, lol. Let's watch and see.
