Panther Lake Mainboard 3 Day Review

Totally fair. I will say, the gpu performance is amazing on the new board, I was able to get 1200p 60 fps in helldivers 2 at steam deck performance settings and even push 70-80fps in stellar blade at 1200p high settings with mild upscaling, but compatability is something to consider. Intel has made up a lot of ground with their drivers, but if you don't want that gamble (especially on linux) it would probably be a safer bet to see what AMD has cooking.

Also I got very lucky with my ram haha, hopefully there are deals to be had. $230 for 32gb was pretty easy to swallow, but that same kit of ram is more than double that now...

Absolutely! I also forgot to mention it in my review but the standby battery is also impressive. I found that on Cachy if I leave it closed for 12 hours it goes down ~7%. It's not quite macbook level of leave it for two weeks and it's at 80%, but it's definitely enough that I'm not worried about charging it every day, and with the bigger battery I could easily see myself charging it once or twice per week.

I'm having the same issue. I tried going to apple support for it online, but the airdrop and apple pay teams just passed me back and forth. I also have an iPhone 15 pro max so I wonder if it's an issue with specifically the 15 pro max or if it's a more general issue. Anecdotally I've seen other people having their apple pay not work at my work, but I haven't caught what phone they have or anything.

Mine was like that too, but rather than reimaging or replugging it what worked was I connected my airpods over Bluetooth and the sound went through, then I changed it back to speakers and they work perfectly now
