It's really worrying just how far behind western chip manufacturing plants are compared to their Eastern counterparts, they are now rolling out 5nm EUV while Intel still can't get 10nm into any meaningful state of production and Global Foundries have abandoned going any lower than 12nm.

Couple things:
1. Michael Would you mind sharing where you found that? I've been trying to watch availability of these (specifically the 4800U variant) for a while.
Edit: I guess newegg at least shows the 4700u model as out-of-stock, but at least listed on the site now.
2. This makes me really excited for my next laptop. I've basically told myself that a 4800U is where I'm going. My current laptop is 11 years old (and no longer reliably wakes from suspend), so I'm due for an upgrade.
3. I've been using a ThinkPad 440p for work for ~4.5 years now, so at least I'll be fairly used to the keyboard layout. And I WILL NOT miss that rubber eraser head.
4. If they add USB4/Thunderbolt into the next generation, that'd make it just about perfect.
5. It's a little sad that these have soldered memory, but I understand that if they end up using LPDDR4x along with the form factor it kinda makes that necessary. Just means I need to buy enough RAM (and maybe SSD) to last the full expected lifetime of this machine.Last edited by Veerappan; 13 May 2020, 09:53 AM.

Are you referring to this?
