Yeah, I was thinking about this last night how up until all this memory price hikes and stuff, how you could actually find decent laptops on Amazon for ~$800 which exceeded a lot of these specs but the one they didn't have was a better iGPU. After all is said and done the price will be the real...
Yeah, that 8 GB VRAM really has me scratching my head, it and the storage options are my only real complaints about this thing. The 512 GB option shouldn't even exist.
It's official now that AMD FSR Redstone will arrive for Radeon RX 9000 GPUs on December 10, following its debut in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

Maybe, just maybe, they've at least managed to produce enough inventory using RAM purchased at the lower prices to allow a lower priced launch. If so, it'll be a guarantee to see a price hike once said inventory is exhausted.
My first PCs, after getting back into PC again during the Pentium 2 | 3 era, were hand-me-downs from my dad combined with boxes of scrap parts kicked down to me by friends. Good times in piecing things together to get the most out of them for close to nothing but I didn't like that kind of look...

I remember a very long time ago that you might be able to get high-end GPUs at a lower cost after release but that ended around pre-1080 Ti days and ever since, regardless of reason, I've seen those prices go up at some point after release. I still remember how the 1080 Ti skyrocketed to ~$1500...
So glad I got my AM5 build done last spring when rumors about this stuff started. I did it more because I just wanted to but also because it seems like there's always something causing prices to go up these days and I didn't want to wait until I couldn't afford it since everything is already so...

A double facepalm for this.
I hope all these rumors and brief clips are wrong, and they do commit to a 3rd single-player game. I'm fine if they stop single-player games after that, but I was really looking forward to a third game finishing the story.
Back to Horizon and the more I hear of stuff like this, the less chance of a single player 3rd game seems likely.
