I feel like I’m part of the minority when I say I’m highly excited for things like M5, APUs, smaller power efficient machines that barely draw power while doing boring work tasks yet can handle proper gaming loads (waiting for the last part still).
As soon as one of these checks all my boxes I’m selling my massive PC for it.
Yep, I’d really like to stick to SoCs in the future as well. I’m holding off on hardware purchases until 2027 when AMD’s RDNA 5 will be available. Apple Silicon is amazing, but I’d like a less expensive alternative that has broader Linux distro support. RDNA 5 will bring true RTX cores, which is critical for my Blender rendering workloads, and is the main reason why I couldn’t justify AMD GPUs in the past for anything other than a dedicated gaming machine (e.g., Steam Deck).
Oh I’m right there with you. My machines are a Legion Go, an M2 Mac mini and a MacBook Pro m1. What CPUs are starting to do with such a minute amount of power is amazing.
I have a Legion Go and I wiped Windows 11 off the damned thing so fast and installed Bazzite.
You have to wonder what these numbers will look like in about 6 months after the Neo’s well received release.

Right? Now just let me push 1440p x2 and play games on high/ultra from the size of half a shoebox please.
We should be able to download 1440p storage sized games instead of giant 100gb+ honkers FFS.
