Hmmm. A 300 nit display hardly sounds premium, and 100% of sRGB is literally the minimum you can do.

* 8 cores / 16 threads for 1000+, isnt it pricey?

Well, they are proper cores, not the gimped E-cores you’d get in an Intel CPU.

dude a dell is Inspiron 16 2-in-1 Laptop for 799, even though dell wont let you have amd and more than 1920x1200

Wow, that looks really good. I do wish the keyboard had dedicated home/end/pageup/pagedown keys. Other than that, it'd be a strong contender for my next laptop.

What's going on with AMD and Thuderbolt?

Too bad it's not a 17" 4k screen with a 90+ Wh battery

This looks very close in specs to the Lenovo T14s Gen 4. 1800p screen faster refresh less nits, 32GB soldered 6400 RAM, about the same battery about the same price. HS instead of U processor, hopefully that can be underclocked to be more like the U. The tuxedo has 2 full M.2 2280, the Lenovo only has one 2280 and one 2230. Assuming tuxedo's build quality is up to par it has the edge IMO price equal.

For my very specific use case of wanting lots of storage without breaking the bank the tuxedo is looking tasty. A 2TB SSD is £84, 4TB £197, 8TB £800, so being able to double up a lower capacity drive is the way to go. An 8 core with 32GB RAM and 8TB storage and >1080p screen for ~£1500 isn't terrible, would last me a decade. But 64GB would be nice.
