It's over for Nvidia and Intel in the laptop market. For real. These APUs are going to completely change the game.

I would wait for Zen 2 and Navi.
There's nothing for AMD after them, and they'll likely have an incredibly long range.

Forgot to say: Wait for AV1 hardware acceleration as well.

It ain't over for nvidia or intel until AMD open sources their PSP and the GPU's vbios. Otherwise you are deluding yourself with properiatary botnets of newer amd, intel, and nvidia hardware. So fuck off.
Although the performance on it is preety amazing.

Oh yeah, for the massively lucrative Holla Forumsposter market segment. I'm talking about the market. Not our personal OPSEC.

The high end laptop market is so small it basically only exists as marketing for mid-range laptops.

It's ogre.

How would that change anything? Even if it was open source, it doesn't matter. Even if you can see and modify the source code, you still can't use your modified version. You can't even be 100% sure that the PSP on your CPU is actually running the same source code they give you. The PSP is locked down and you can't flash anything new to replace it, whether you have its source code or not.

not realizing it's not too late to invest in amd and cash in on the zen profits and use that cash money to buy yourself that Talos II you really want.

Price point will determine all. Assuming the 950m is near or less than a 950, new releases will be minimum specs at best, still unplayable at worst. This strikes me as significantly off balance for gaming, but perfect for most games three years ago and earlier. I can't see it being worth more than 600US, and a good price at anything below that-- which it won't for a few years I bet. I tend to buy a mid range laptop when they go on sale in the 300 range every 3 to 5 years, and the tech is usually doubled by that time. I am more interested in the budget versions that come after these ones, that is where the value is and will likely leap significantly from the quad core a6 w/r4 graphics I am currently fine with.
