What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find? (lemmy.zip)

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 600-800€?
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.

Dell XPS 13 Snapdragon seems like it's trying to compete with the Air.

Sadly doesn't seem to be fanless, which imo is a really nice feature when you dont care about high performance. Not sure if in the real world you can find good deals on the snapdragon laptops, but list price is also quite high and that keyboard with touch function keys doesn't seem great either.

So in my book that's still no match for what a macbook air m1/2 offers, which by now are a few years old and can be found for decent prices. They might be aiming at the same market, but aren't equal.

Ah, good point!
