    Inb4 but I can get a gaming laptop with that kind of money.

    This is not a gaming laptop. It's targeted at business professionals.

    • Bunnyburger on 08/04/2021 - 16:22

      I was thinking that but does it offer anything above a gaming laptop?

      Great portability? Extreme durability? A dedicated concierge service (their leather one used to have one I think)?

      The folding is action is nice but I see that in their lower end lines.

  • ruprectaus on 08/04/2021 - 16:29

    • xoom on 08/04/2021 - 16:31

      It comes with a built in stylus. Much like the gen 3 X1 yoga I'm using.

      Going by previous spec it's wacom aes.

      • Griefbringer on 08/04/2021 - 18:26

        Does it compare to the Surface (book) pen? I love how the pen for my surface book 3 has the weight and diameter of a real pen.

        • xoom on 08/04/2021 - 18:33

          The pen on my x1 yoga gen 3 is smaller in diameter and lighter than a real pen. Can't imagine the pen in the gen 6 any bigger or heavier due to being in a silo.

    • hubertlam on 08/04/2021 - 17:32

      Not sure. I guess the general trend of the price is downhill anyway as the year progresses.

  • Evisc on 08/04/2021 - 17:19

    I thought I saw someone on eBay selling a similarly specced XPS for like $2.5k(The listing had like 10 units). Is the XPS significantly worse or different compared to this to justify a $900 difference?

    • hubertlam on 08/04/2021 - 17:30
      +2

      The WWAN antenna and 5G upgrade are around $160+$300 respectively, so it's probably one of the single most expensive upgrades.

      Also the XPS probably has very few ports compared to this one. I guess you're referring to this model: https://www.dell.com/en-au/work/shop/business-laptops-ultrab…

      • Evisc on 08/04/2021 - 22:05

        Ah yeah that was the model, I was looking for a laptop and saw a dude selling at $2.5K and thought that was a good deal for the specs… But yeah I guess usb ports are pretty nice.

    • pomchu on 08/04/2021 - 18:58

      its like worse

    • [Deactivated] on 09/04/2021 - 08:04

      XPS is a consumer-grade laptop with only a 1-year warranty. The Dell equivalent to this would be the Latitude 9420 that's about to be released.

      If you wait a few months they'll turn up on the Dell Outlet for half this price. I got a similar spec Latitude 9410 for about $1600 last year.

  • Borg on 08/04/2021 - 17:44

    It amazes me that this is more targeted towards business users (like the Dell XPS etc) yet comes with Win10 home edition and not PRO!

    • xoom on 08/04/2021 - 17:47

      But most businesses have pro licences anyway in their soe.

      • Borg on 08/04/2021 - 19:21
        -1

        Why would most businesses have Pro (Soe)? None that I know of have other than larger 100+ companies . Most just use OEM that is included with the PCs and NBs.

        • xoom on 08/04/2021 - 19:27

          those businesses that use OEM OS are not buying these laptops.

          • Borg on 08/04/2021 - 19:32

            @xoom: I disagree.
            I have one that uses all Dell XPS as they like them for some unknown reason……..and they all come with Win10 home. Stupid really as they then need to pay for Upgrade!

            Point is……you maybe surprised what small businesses do but more that a 3k notebook would come with Home edition. Why not just include Pro to begin with. It doesn't cost the manufacturer much extra and opens the market for more business users to consider buying.

            • xoom on 08/04/2021 - 19:42

              @Borg: Then the question you be asking yourself. Does not having pro version of Windows stop you from doing your work. As this is the question whoever purchases your computer gears will ask themselves of their workforce.

              It doesn't cost the manufacturer much extra.

              Tbh if there's money to be saved not giving windows pro they would. It boils down to profit.

              • Borg on 08/04/2021 - 21:58

                @xoom: No, it just stops them from doing their work and costs them more i.e. my time to upgrade them on top of the extra they have to pay for the Lic.

                Profit Part: They might sell more if it by default incl Pro as some businesses know they need Pro and might avoid this model (not realising one could just upgrade).

                • xoom on 08/04/2021 - 22:08

                  @Borg:

                  No, it just costs them more i.e. my time to upgrade them on top of the extra they have to pay for the Lic.

                  As Bedgrub said. Companies that have a need for pro features likely have a licensing agreement already in place.

                  They might sell more if it by default incl Pro

                  Debatable as these manufacturers have likely already crunched the numbers and they seem to get away with it fine and still manage to make profit.

                  and as was stated above. any business needing pro features will likely have licensing agreements already.

                  if a business where to avoid this model it will not be because they do not realise they could just upgrade it. it will likely be the cost of the unit.

                  • Borg on 08/04/2021 - 22:33

                    @xoom: Again I totally disagree. Companies that require Pro do NOT necessarily already have agreements in place. Many of my clients use Pro and most do not have any expensive Open Licences in place.

                    Most of the Sales I do to even larger companies only buy PCs and Notebooks that come with PRO as they also do not use Open Lic or have any agreements to cover Windows. It's expensive.

                    • xoom on 09/04/2021 - 01:38

                      @Borg:

                      Many of my clients use Pro

                      Do all your clients use pro necessarily need pro features?

                      Most of the Sales I do to even larger companies only buy PCs and Notebooks that come with PRO

                      Then you can factor in the sale price the inclusion of pro. Expecting the manufacturer to do you a solid because the laptop is already $3k is unlikely going to change anything. Lenovo seems to be selling these expensive machines just fine to everybody else with windows home.

        • Bedgrub on 08/04/2021 - 20:25

          If you need pro features (which is really only domain joining) then you very likely have licensing arrangements in place already.

    • knuckle8 on 08/04/2021 - 17:49

      Yes very true.
      Strange that it doeesnt come with Pro

      • hubertlam on 08/04/2021 - 17:58

        As xoom said, most users of this would be able to find their copy of Win 10 Pro (or Enterprise) in their SOE, and for wayyy less than the $110 (as advertised) or $89 (actual price of the upgrade after the eCoupon discount).

  • hubertlam on 08/04/2021 - 17:48

    Ironically the X1 Carbon Gen 9 isn't much cheaper - so you may as well get the pen, unless you're really attracted by the even lighter (1kg?) X1C.

    • AlgoTrading on 08/04/2021 - 20:37

      The keyboard on X1C is much better (I have X1C6 for home use and X1 Yoga for work). Yoga's keyboard feels very spongy.

    Is this a 13in form-factor with a big screen or 15in with a small screen? I assume it's the the former, but asking anyway just to be sure

  • brimmy11 on 08/04/2021 - 17:55
    +6

    Absurdly expensive machine considering it’s performance. That price is in workstation territory. The screen is massively overkill and the 5G isn’t realistically going to get much use by 99.9% of people (just hotspot your phone).

    You’d be much better off spending $2000~ if you wanted a nice thin and light and pocketing the change.

    • hubertlam on 08/04/2021 - 22:33

      One point of difference between a phone and a WWAN enabled laptop: the antennae for the laptop picks up the cellular signals so much better.

      I've been using a non-WWAN laptop for the past 2 months, using the hot spot on my phone during this time. It has not been the best experience - with a phone there'll be plenty of blackspots, with the laptop, most of those "blackspots" disappear and it runs fine whereas the phone could only pick up a droplet of the signal :(

      • brimmy11 on 09/04/2021 - 01:33

        It's just a M.2 PCI-E card for the 5G with a tiny cable attached running off it to a place probably along the screen for the "antenna" which will just be a chunk of metal that they can anchor it off. Each to their own I guess.

        4G for like $130 or whatever it is isn't too bad I guess but +$300 for 5G? That's a joke. Coverage is small, speeds are unnecessary and if you can get a 5G signal you can likely get WiFi.

  • customundo on 08/04/2021 - 18:14

    What would this price drop down to in ~10 months? 30-50%? Anyone has experience with a previous high end model?

    • hubertlam on 08/04/2021 - 22:29

      Depending on whether you upgrade to WWAN etc, it could tumble around 30% in 10 months time, especially with pre-built base models that don't have bells or whistles.

  • LibertyPrime on 08/04/2021 - 18:24

    I hate to be that guy, but yeah the M1 MacBook Air or Pro is a whole lot better value than this. Granted; if you need Windows or 5G then obviously the MacBook is a no-go, but for a lot of people the MacBooks just kill it at the moment. Ridiculous battery life (especially standby, mine will sit in sleep mode for a week and drain like 5%), great screens, great keyboards now that the butterfly is dead, great trackpads.

      I've been using Mac since 2005 and am transitioning away to Windows and Ubuntu. Their ARM architecture reminds me all those compatibility issues back in Power PC era, and I'd hate to go back to that again. Even back then you could install Linux on them, now m1 Mac is still having driver issues for Linux let alone x64 software compatibility.

      Plus, it is reported that Big Sur tracks app usage extensively, so that's another reason for me to move away from them.

      I like Mac's, just not their ARM ones.

    What an absolute rip off. No dedicated GPU at this price. That price is insane.
    I bought a similar specd Lenovo last year for just over 2k. These manufacturers need to stop copying Apple pricing, they're pricing themselves out of the market and ripping people off.

    • xoom on 09/04/2021 - 10:55

      Out of curiousity. Which laptop you recommend with a dedicated gpu that you can get a 5g wwan? Don't forget the 32GB RAM and 512GB nvme SSD. And the UHD screen with HDR. And the mil spec build. Serious question by the way.

      • Charity on 09/04/2021 - 16:56

        5G wwan is a near useless feature when you can just hotspot your phone. 512gb nvme, at this price point, is a joke in 2021. The "mil spec" is more outdated marketing toss. The only useful feature is probably the camera cover and even that isn't special these days. lol

        • xoom on 09/04/2021 - 17:30

          Near useless to those who dont have access. Useful to those that do. Still waiting on that laptop you rather recommend than getting this?

          By the way. Hotspotting to your phone means another device I would have to charge up aside from the laptop.

    • vovka on 10/04/2021 - 08:22

      What's point of having dedicated GPU in a laptop? Adding extra weight and heat to the unit?
      Intel Iris Xe is perfectly capable of decoding 4K videos, anything beyond that is unlikely to be much required from a laptop requirement.
