I was sure they’d deliver Panther Lake but didn’t think it would have LPCAMM.

I thought they’d either solder the memory or skip out on delivering the good integrated graphics from the X SKUs.

I’m stunned in a good way. This is a MacBook Pro killer for the nerdier end of Apple’s market.

The fact that you mostly can pick and choose your upgrades to Pro is really cool, too.

The mid-tier X7 board sold alone seems like a great value and it would be a pretty solid uplift to the old system.
