Only thing stopping me from buying anything from creality is that horrible app. It's riddled with ads and I believe if you want to use some remote printing features you need to pay an $80 or so yearly subscription fee.

They also seem to be using an odd firmware that isn't klipper compatible. Apparently they will be releasing a compatible firmware in the future.

The app thing is the killer though. Renders most of the fancy extra features of this product line useless.

The KE is Klipper based. As for the app, I'm not interested in it as I didn't see any benefit of using it over Pronterface. I am looking to upgrade to the KE or perhaps this new one depending on the specs. But then the author makes mistakes like referring to the Bowden tube on a direct-drive unit I'll wait to get clarification.
While it is currently locked down while it is getting rolled out and tested by the bleeding edge consumer, it will eventually be unlocked.
Addendum: One concern that I have is the nozzels and whether or not it will be a costly propriety ones as some other manufacturers have done.
Okay, two things. This new one doesn't refer to being Klipper based but I can't imagine that Creality would go backwards in development.]
The price is $599 with options for a camera and lidar.

This is not big news at all. The K1 and Max can already print CF as long as you use a hardened steel nozzle. I already have the K1 and printing CF, GF and other abrasive filaments. So by adding a "C" to their printer name for an extra $100 is marketing at its worst!

What they really need to add is a chamber heater. If they would've added that, then I might would be interested.

Why do you think it is a mistake for the author to refer to the Bowden tube on a direct drive system? It still has a Bowden tube (actually called a reverse Bowden tube) from where the filament enters the printer to the extruder. All the author was saying is that the reverse Bowden tube has been altered so it doesn't get stuck in the cable chain. Most corexy machines have a reverse Bowden tube.
