They really should be $600-700 or so.

358h b390 is the best chip intel has released in ages.
Yet, supply is constrained because they've moved 18a to produce xeons instead of pantherlake.
So... we got like almost no options in the laptop market.
Only 2 models right now that's remotely reasonable, the $1300-1500 omnibookx, and $1000 acer.
The other ones are absolute junkkk, they either overheat or just caps tdp super low, while charging people $3000.
It's insane, there's so much potential here, and ACER is apparently the only one pushing the envelope.
The $999 swift 16 though, if they only made the heatsinks about double the size, would be more sustainable, as is, it's on the hot side, and you have to resort to tricks to keep it topped out.
The omnibook is heavier than gaming laptops and have a way cheaped out screen... This is unacceptable.

I have no issues with mods in base staying as currently rendered - I think keeping them as GMK Signal had them is the best thing to do for base kit buyers. While Mac mods aren’t my preference, I think it’s most important to keep the base faithful to the OG and then let people buy an extra kit if they want to swap them out.
Regardless of whether alt mods ends up as default text+icon or themed text, what is the purpose of the F5-F8, F13, R1 delete, tilde, and mod/pipe that’s currently present? Base kit offers all those keys already. Is the intention to be used with a different set (my mind goes to Splash)?

Given that, an Alt Mods kit appeals to me. That said, I can't wrap my head around what the Alt Mods kit in it's current state is trying to do. If the intention is as named (provide alternate mods for the people that don't vibe with the icon mods), there are some swaps needed. I prefer the standard legends instead of the signal-themed ones as those feel more like novelties to me.judging from the results from the ic currently and my own preference, mods in base probably wont change. as for the alt mod kit, it is split exactly 50/50 rn so ill make a decision later. if it does end up going towards normal text plus icon i can trim it since the mods wont be special molds anymore. i also dont want to split up spacebars to another kit. dont want to have to deal with another moq to reach
Assuming utilization of standard legends, you can strip the current Alt Mods kit of the following:
- Accent and non-accent R1 Esc keys: already in base
- F5-F8: already in base
- R2 mod/pipe: already in base
- ZXC with date sublegends: would be a better fit in the novelties kit IMO
- F13 and R1 Delete: already in base
You could then replace those removed keys with the below, bringing the alt mod offerings to parity with the base kit and allowing someone to swap all the icon mods to standard text+icon:
- R3 1.75 Control and Stepped Control
- 2x R4 1.5U Super and 2x R4 1U Alt
- R4 1U Control
- R2 Backspace
While on the topic of carving up kits, what are your thoughts about splitting the mini bars, extra B, and accent bars from the current Extension kit into a standalone spacebars kit? If you split the bars out, you could keep the existing shinethroughs, 40s support, and nipple homing, and then add maybe BAE and XT column macro keys to the extension kit?
