>The ThinkPad 13s will start at $1,099<p>This $1099 config better have 16GB Memory and 512GB by default. Otherwise it is a machine that cost about the same as MacBook Air M2, with lower Display Res, slower CPU and GPU and No Touch ID. This is perhaps for the first time in history Apple has a better "spec" machine for the same price. With the scale of iPhone and iPad, Apple is now at a point where the whole PC industry can no longer compete. And that is excluding things like speakers, trackpad, and thunderbolt port.<p>>A spokesperson told Ars Technica that its business customers are being more open to the aspect ratio.<p>Biggest lie ever. People want 16:10, but for years the industry shove 16:9 to your customer because it was the cheaper panel.<p>> Arm Cortex-X1 cores at up to 3 GHz<p>For Context, the Single Core GB5 Scores<p>Arm Cortex-X1 cores at up to 3 GHz = ~800<p>Apple M1 ( A14 Core+ ) = ~1700<p>For PC Laptop counterpart, a 800 GB5 score you are looking at something like AMD Ryzen 7 4700U if it was limited to run at ~10W. So not too bad. Apple is the outliner here.
