For reference, an Asus Windows laptop with somewhat similar base specs is $750 right now. Last gen 7735 and lower tier version of Navi 33, the 7600S.

Plug it into an external monitor and use the built in one for chrome lol
This is cool. I wouldn't buy one but it's nice to see some innovative stuff.
I think a mini PC with similar specs would have broader appeal.
And if you're doing heavy multithreaded workloads, 7950X or 7950X3D is what you want.
Coil whine could be a blaring problem if it's bad enough
That's Mendocino, but they didn't bring it to desktop market and probably will not.
It's not uncommon for functioning dies to be cut down for market segmentation purposes. Intel had segmentation down to a science in the pre-Ryzen days. Like disabling hyperthreading and reducing cache for Core i5. Probably was rarely necessary because of actual defects, yet half or more of the chips got sold as some cut down variant, even when Intel's yields were great.
Wow, that's a joke. There are some good prebuilt deals out there, I have no idea what they're trying to do here.
In theory, yes. In practice, a high end APU is going to be competing with low end and prior generation/refresh CPUs/GPUs. Once those discounts are figured in, the value proposition in straight performance/$ is shot.
They would be MacBook Pro fighters that could also do gaming at high energy efficiency, but we're not close to that being a go-to for any price segment if performance is paramount. Those chips will be expensive and the laptops with them will stay expensive for quite a while.
Asus TUF A15 is $750 rn. There's usually a totally usable gaming laptop for $800 and a decent midrange one for $1100-1200.
Makes sense if true. Laptop market looks like shit rn from a profit perspective, if anything has to get delayed or deprioritized, a high end laptop might be it.
