I'm still using that craptop. The itch I feel to upgrade is stronger than ever, but I'm going wait this out until the benchmarks release for the next flagships. Which will most likely happen in the span of 2028 based on the most recent rumors regarding the 6000 series release date. If the price doesn't justify the performance I will consider a cheaper build or just ditch this idea for something less expensive. I pray to science for the love of gaming please universe make this AI bubble pop okay thanks for coming to my ted talk. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
