My old Samsung ultra book died - and I have researched up the HX 370 Chip which seems pretty awesome and the iGPU is pretty impressive.

Should I wait? I see the next line of Amd would be late 2026 / 27

I basically want a laptop- not to fancy like the Asus Vivo book S 15 w/ the Ryzen AI 9 w/ 890m graphics - to 'lightly' tread the PC gaming waters. I've always been an console player and my desktop is ancient.

The Vivobook S 15 would be work/normal use possible gaming but not intense of course. Low 1080p maybe medium. I have looked at a ton of different laptop models and ones like Asus Zenbook S have thermal issues- it's too thin. And I don't want a dedicated GPU those can have issues too and poor battery life for the everyday use stuff

I was looking to get a Galaxy book 5 last fall... Any model because my og 2020 Galaxy Book Pro the screen died and Samsung support wanted $600 to repair it.

Anyways- the base Galaxy book Pro 5 was $1000 and it's jumped to $1200 .. after the Book 6 releases?

What the F? It's hilarious to me. I had seen a Galaxy Book 5 from best buy (NEW) For $600 last winter time. And $700 and $800 for a short while.

Anyways what the hell are they smoking? Other than global inflation- which I understand- they most be smoking that good stuff
