So no ports, a shitty battery and OS level spyware? Pass.
Put Linux on it.
It made my Yoga last about 3 hours longer than Windows.
Wait you keep the original OEM install? For what purpose?
My current Laptop was bought with no OS. I refuse to give my money to Microsoft.
The question is does it run as silent as apple laptops?
Silence, at least under light load, is honestly such a nice feature.
I bought my desktop at an auction for a self-driving car startup that was shutting down. Amazing specs, great price. It had two RTX 2080 Ti cards in there. Loudest GPU fan I’ve ever heard in my life. All the other fans in the computer are Noctua but I guess the Ti cards are strictly optimized for performance and not necessarily gaming. I got some nice speakers that are color-coordinated with the desktop but when I’m doing some serious gaming I have to use noise-cancelling headphones to tune out the sound of the GPU fan. Might get a different GPU at some point but it’s out of my fun budget right now.
Most non-gaming laptops since 2010 don’t really make noticeable noise
no, even in 2020 Intel Macs were noisy compared to apple silicon Macs.
How can fanless intel macbook air make noise?
Ofc with AI™
Kinda fascinating how they manage to cram RTX GPUs in there, don’t know how practical it is given the obvious constraints in battery life and cooling but eh. If the new models are anything like the current models they’ll even have decent I/O (minus the ethernet port grumble grumble)
If they offered an AMD version with a dedicated AMD GPU I’d even be half interested. But not really, my ThinkPad P14s is gonna serve me very well for the next 10 years or so.
Macbook Air isn’t just about the weight, the processor/horsepower are a draw. I have to wonder if LG can compete with Apple’s performance, rather than just making a lighter laptop. The Macbook Air is already quite light. The Macbook Pro is a beast.
With another AI talk to try to hype up consumers in the article, I wouldn’t be surprised this thing is pretty much like a Chromebook that has to call servers to do much things… Still sticking to older tech
im building a cyber deck, fuck this shit.
People looking to make an airfoil out of their laptop or some shit?
It’s still the same fucking Tiktok guys.
Tbf half the weight is huge gains. There a big difference between carrying 2 kilograms and 1.

I get the appeal of a lightweight device but i personally like a little weight as long as it is heavy because it _b … I just woke up and realized I fell asleep typing my comment. I literally bored myself to sleep.
What a misleading title! It says 2026 gram laptop but that’s so heavy it’s 1199 grams wtfff
Makes it easier to throw into the bin after 2 years when shit stops working, unlike on a macbook
My mbp monitor failed after 2 years and it would have been 1k to fix. So no.
This is some legitimately backwards thinking.
I was on charge of end user devices for a company of 70k people. 70k laptops and desktops. Macs were depreciated over 3 years. Windows devices were depreciated over 5. Repair rates were equivalent, but it was a lot easier to repair the windows devices in house.
