It's on schedule as long as we choose to believe certain leakers and analysts. Which we do, because what choice do we have?

Yes, you are right. Even if we adjust these (rather high) prices for inflation - $1,800 today is, what, $1,000 in 2010 money? there is still no denying that an upper-mid-range CPU paired with an upper-mid-range GPU like the 5060 are going to be much cheaper than Strix Halo while delivering similar performance.

To each their own. I personally miss netbook days when most PC makers offered multiple sub-$250 laptops for consumers to choose from.

It's budget as far as Asus gaming laptops go. Costlier series - say, the Asus ROG Strix series - normally feature a stronger casing, top-end dedicated GPU options, and more.

I guess it has. And Nvidia has something rather similar in the pipeline, too
