Notes
A 0.9 L Lunar Lake box with 32 GB on-package LPDDR5X-8533 (about 136 GB/s), two Thunderbolt 4 and dual 2.5 GbE. Notebookcheck calls it a plain business PC with a pulsing fan and a high price; it runs 8B-class models, but memory is fixed and the 8 CPU cores are weak.
Notebookcheck (29 Sep 2025 rating graphic): 75% 'Gut'; tested 258V / 32 GB / 1 TB at USD 900, Amazon.de EUR 792.99 at review time (the price has risen since). The Notebookcheck page text read had no wall-power or dB(A) figures. Wi-Fi 6E (AX211) or Wi-Fi 7 (BE201) depending on source/SKU. Weight 669 g (Notebookcheck) vs 666.8 g (Geizhals). allround-pc.com review text names EUR 1,189 as too high; no score read. Memory speed source: LPDDR5X-8533 (Notebookcheck/Geizhals) x 128-bit = 136.5 GB/s; 128-bit is the standard Lunar Lake layout, not read on Intel ARK.
