Pokdepinion: To be able to pack an Intel Core Ultra 9 in such a compact body is insane to me. That’s a strong CPU and I’m personally wondering how well the laptop can manage its thermals. That would likely be my main focus if I were to review it, as I’m sure it will be a very powerful laptop regardless.
