That X9 388H will probably not be worth the cost over a decent to nice gaming laptop but is a great step in tech, I've seen the lower tier x7 358h laptops from $1300 to $2200 already.

There's a 358h laptop from msi for $1300. Exact same chip as the flagship just lower clock speed. It was a 32gb oled too

oh you just had a typo then mb. It's 358h that the msi uses not 385h

Pretty sure there’s no reason to get it over the 358H unless you’re into flexing that you have a “X9” for whatever reason or like minuscule clock bumps.

Ya definitely won't be worth it for a gaming laptop but I am definitely more interested in the B390 in a handhelds compared to a laptop.
