The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

Wait till that?

Santa Rosa shouls be out in a few months, and if you add maybe a couple of months for the supply to increase, and different notebook models to release with the platform, the cost should decrease. Keep in mind, that Santa Rosa will be quite a big thing for manufacturers, so they will require some time to release these new Santa Rosa based notebooks. That means, that even four months down the line, the selection on notebooks to choose from will still be limited. Dell will probably be one of the first manufacturers to be offering these processors, as will some of the other major manufacturers, like HP and Toshiba.

And also back to school sales

e.g. my laptop was marketed as an education bundle for £800 inc 3 year collect + return warranty. God knows some of the buyers weren't students
