Probably with unskippable advertisements.

I'm guessing it'll pair horrible battery life with awful build quality like most Windows laptops tend to do. They're all focusing on being thin and light like a MacBook but none of them are close to what Apple has, because of that they loose everything that makes PCs special in the desperate attempt to achieve something Apple does better.

I'm not going to buy anything from LG any more. My ongoing battle against my own LG TV's enshittification (forced ads and AI everywhere, getting worse every update) has soured my opinion on LG. They can go to hell.

So no ports, a shitty battery and OS level spyware? Pass.

But... Do we need laptops any lighter than this? Like, I'm not moving around my 13 inch Macbook and thinking: "oh god this is a beast". My biggest issue with laptops now days is battery life and performance, both of which my Macbook meets perfectly. Not that I like the OS or the company tbh, especially as a FOSS enthusiast.

Claims to be an ai laptop. Has 8 GB of vram in a 5050.

Well if it’s anything like their previous models then it probably feels like it’s a toy. I remembered playing with a display model when I was thinking of buy it and was amazing by how flimsy it was.

On paper they seem like good laptops. But in practice?

Just removed the battery.

The question is does it run as silent as apple laptops?

Kinda fascinating how they manage to cram RTX GPUs in there, don't know how practical it is given the obvious constraints in battery life and cooling but eh. If the new models are anything like the current models they'll even have decent I/O (minus the ethernet port grumble grumble)

If they offered an AMD version with a dedicated AMD GPU I'd even be half interested. But not really, my ThinkPad P14s is gonna serve me very well for the next 10 years or so.

Almost as good as a macbook from 5 years ago, for only twice the price!

Macbook Air isn't just about the weight, the processor/horsepower are a draw. I have to wonder if LG can compete with Apple's performance, rather than just making a lighter laptop. The Macbook Air is already quite light. The Macbook Pro is a beast.

Ofc with AI™

Do you actually want super light laptops? I feel like there is a sweet spot, but who knows maybe I would even want one, never held it in my hands/used it.

I feel like this comes at the cost of repairability as well though.

People looking to make an airfoil out of their laptop or some shit?

It's still the same fucking Tiktok guys.

I get the appeal of a lightweight device but i personally like a little weight as long as it is heavy because it _b .... I just woke up and realized I fell asleep typing my comment. I literally bored myself to sleep.

With another AI talk to try to hype up consumers in the article, I wouldn't be surprised this thing is pretty much like a Chromebook that has to call servers to do much things.. Still sticking to older tech

I think i will rather add a framework mainboard if i feel my 2018 Thinkpad needs an upgrade. Frame and screen are still like new and it's quite repairable.
