Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can't find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

A proper non-Apple Macbook Air equivalent. Because imo for the average user that just browses the internet and does some light office work it seems perfect. And with that I mean:

  • fanless
  • good screen preferably 3:2 or 16:10
  • long battery life
  • unlike the air expandable storage and ideally non soldered ram
  • solid build quality
  • priced at maybe 600-800โ‚ฌ?
  • doesn't have to have the greatest performance

Tbh i thought we would get it with Intels lunar lake processors, but so far no luck.

Good luck finding anything fanless without being SOC. Though it looks like a Framework would make you happy: https://frame.work/
