So far what I saw on the reviews they look like a mess....performance is all over the place...instability issues.....heck even power saving does not look that impressive especially when you realize what kind of performance you actually getting.....

Most computing, especially productive computing, is not gaming. So that doesn't matter when it comes to areas outside of moms basement.

Was I expecting to much expecting it to be on sites like dell and Lenovo in pre builds on launch day?
And holy ***** what happened to prices why do I have to pay €800 for a minimal 16 GB trash ram and 512GB m.2 drive Ryzen 8500g system

this is should be 600 tops ffs

Shouldn't the headline be they are offered for a sale?
In my view selling implies that someone actually buys it.
