Wintel laptop makers are worried that the new MacBook Air on SoC M2 will take away market share from them
The upcoming release of the new MacBook Air on SoC M2 has other laptop manufacturers worried.
The source says that various companies that produce laptops with Windows and Intel CPUs are worried that the release of the new Air will negatively affect their sales.
For example, one manufacturer says that at $1,000-$1,500 the new Air will replace other laptops in its class. At the same time, we recall that the new Apple starts at $ 1,200, and the old Air will remain on sale with a price of $ 1,000. The success of the new MacBook Air is believed to be driven by numerous changes ranging from the platform to a new camera and chassis.
Recall that the new MacBook Air received a new platform, a new design, and a new screen, moreover, with a branded bang, and MagSafe charging.

Samsung’s first AI laptop will be released before the first AI smartphone. Galaxy Book 4 will premiere on December 15

On December 15, Intel will release Core Ultra processors for mobile computers, and on the same day Samsung will introduce a new line of its laptops – Galaxy Book 4. The devices will be presented as AI laptops.
It is known that Samsung has registered the name “AI smartphone”; according to rumors, the Galaxy S24 will be presented as such. But the Galaxy S24 will debut, according to preliminary data, on January 17, 2024, which means that the first AI laptop from Samsung will be released a month earlier than the AI smartphone.
Core Ultra will have a neural processor to accelerate AI tasks, and it will be on its basis that Samsung’s proprietary Gauss language model will work (all calculations will be performed by the device itself, no “clouds”).
It is reported that LG Electronics and HP are also preparing to release AI laptops based on Core Ultra, but it is not a fact that they will also be presented on December 15.
The Galaxy Book line will include five models: Galaxy Book 4, Galaxy Book 4 360, Galaxy Book 4 360 Pro, Galaxy Book 4 Pro and Galaxy Book 4 Ultra. The specifications will apparently be the same as the Galaxy Book 3. The only difference is that instead of the 13th generation Intel Core there will be first generation Intel Core Ultra processors. The Galaxy Book 4 Ultra will have an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 dGPU.

One of the most powerful laptops of 2024 has appeared on the Internet. Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 has a Core Ultra 9 processor and GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile

The official premiere of Intel Core Ultra processors from the Meteor Lake family will take place soon – on December 15, so advertisements are starting to appear in online stores describing new laptop models based on the new CPUs. Thus, one of the retailers revealed the characteristics of the future gaming Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024.
While the 2023 model number is GU604, the 2024 model number is GU605. The top configuration will have a 16-core Ultra 9 185H (6 large cores, 8 small cores and 2 more ultra-low power cores), complemented by a GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile dGPU. The laptop will have two slots for RAM: the basic version has only 16 GB, but there is also an option with 32 GB of RAM. The configuration also includes a 1 TB SSD. But, unfortunately, there are no prices yet.
The official premiere of Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 2024 will most likely take place on the same day that the processors will be presented.

A laptop with an OLED screen and the latest Core Ultra for only 1000 euros. Acer Swift 14 with Intel Meteor Lake processors appeared on the Internet

Laptops based on Intel Core Ultra processors will indeed be relatively affordable. Previously, we saw the first price leaks, but now Acer models have appeared in stores.
In particular, the version of Swift 14 with Core Ultra 5 125H is priced at 1000 euros. This cannot be called a cheap laptop, but the specified processor will not be the weakest in the line. It will offer four large and eight small cores with a TDP of 28 W.
The same laptop, but with a Core Ultra 7 155H, will cost 1,250 euros, but it will have twice the memory and twice the SSD.
Moreover, we are talking about a laptop with an OLED screen with a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels, which makes the price of 1000 euros much more interesting. Therefore, it is quite possible to expect simpler laptops with lower Meteor Lake CPUs with a price significantly lower than 1000 euros.
