I happy for Intel ! I really hope they succeed and offer a compelling upgrade path .

I am very impressed and HAPPY with my Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with ARC iGPU and 64GB of 5600RAM5 and Pcie4.0Nvme7.4GB/s HP Pro SSD that I purchased direct fresh made from Hp Hewlett Packard direct manufacturing Hp Shopping website for 715.00$ to my door !

It was on special the 17.3' Hp Envy 16:9 aspect ratio screen the price was such a guilty splurge but it is a worthy upgrade from my previous daily laptop of a 12th Gen Intel 1260p Core i7 with Xe iGPU 64GB 3200DDR4 RAM with the same Hp ssd model as mentioned above .

My workflow just feels peppy and noticeably more reactive .

I recommend people from 12th Gen Intel laptops or previous to upgrade to an Ultra , Ultra 2 preferable with a high amount of RAM with higher frequency and solid name brand reliability like Crucial and mine are Kingston FURY DDR5 5600 2x32GB sticks in my new Ultra 5 125H laptop

I look to go with a 16th Gen Intel laptop chipset cpu next year early if they come out before June
hoping to aim for a Dell even a Dell workstation not to bulky or heavy if the offer em so !!!

Cheers Everyone !

Thanks for letting RANT RAVE and be HAPPY here lol !
