I think I literally said on the call in front of their executives in a room full of journalists, I think I literally said, this could cost $1,500.

This could cost $8,000.

I have no idea.

Can you please give us some hint?

Anything.

and and they didn't they didn't have a hand so i'm gonna i'm gonna go ahead and guess it's a lot closer to eight thousand than fifteen hundred yeah i wouldn't be surprised if it's 3500 4k even even even 5k and just they'll see how many ai bros buy it you know

Yeah.

Yeah.

And luckily for for for everybody listening, they tend to send us the machines so that we can test that.

I was excited just from the spec sheet because of jargon, because of things like LPCAM2 with two Ms.

Because that is a new form of computer memory, which is wonderful, and I'll tell you about that later.

But things like custom display, 30 to 120 hertz, variable refresh rate, things like Core Ultra 3.

But when I got there, the thing that actually impressed me was the thing I dismissed at first.

It's that this has a chassis made of CNC machined aluminum, right?

actually carved out of extruded blocks of metal instead of being like printed and stamped and those things that cheap laptops do.

And that framework, which does not make cheap laptops, was still kind of doing up till now because they wanted to put their money other places.

Right.

Yeah.

It feels like it's in that category now.

Like, you know, I don't want to go all the way to, like, if you take your, you know, M5 16-inch MacBook Pro with all the stuff and it's the best laptop that Apple has ever made because, of course, every year they make the best laptop they've ever made.
