On one hand, it's nice to see they're offering it with AMD. On the other, to configure it like my 5700U is, 5700U/32GB ram/2TB NVMe for a 14", it costs €1500. My 14" 5700U, w/ 32GB DDR4 3200 and 2TB NVMe cost me <$900. It's not like this is a modern generation processor, this is still using the Zen2 cores, just updated for better power efficiency. I do LIKE my 5700U, but it can't hold a candle to zen3, and with Zen3+ out, definitely can't hold a candle to that. Seems overpriced for using older tech, since the whole point of the 5700U was as a value segment 8-core/16-thread CPU vs. zen3 5800U.
