New leak claims Intel Panther Lake laptops could cost up to $2,400 — and my wallet is already crying

Samsung Galaxy Book6 Pro.

We’ve recently been impressed by the performance of the Intel Panther Lake-powered Asus Zenbook Duo (2026) and Samsung Galaxy Book 6 Pro. While these are some of the best Windows laptops we’ve reviewed, we’ve largely been in the dark about their respective pricing. Unfortunately, if a new report is true, it seems these and other Panther Lake laptops could be pretty expensive.

That’s according to YouTuber Moore’s Law is Dead, who claims that his sources have told him Panther Lake laptops could cost more than $2,400. While the ongoing “RAMageddon” crisis is certainly a factor, it appears the main culprit is the high cost of manufacturing Intel’s high-end chips. Regardless, it seems our wallets might be in for a rough time.
