Just a note that the Base configuration that starts at $999 is also a quad core, the i5-1135G7. The i7-1185G7 is really only necessary if you need vPro for enterprise fleet management reasons (we also have a i7-1165G7 SKU for folks who want higher clocks but not vPro).

Are you able to elaborate on why there's no AMD option? I've preordered a DIY one, with the hope that down the line I can put an AMD main board in. (Still undecided on whether I'll want it if that never becomes an option)

We designed our mainboard system to be able upgradeable to future CPU platforms. We have nothing we can share around that today, but it's a core part of the product!

Okay but that does not make it better. A slightly higher boost clock on one hand vs a strong octa-core CPU on the other (and this is last year’s generation).
