Work in IT and build computers, was looking for a solid machine for coding, running live DJ shows, music production, video editing and some light gaming. You can get these specs for a bit cheaper and will be able to do about the same things, but let me just outline what makes this computer different:
-great 1080p screen that is 16:10 which gives you that extra vertical space that makes it feel like a 14inch
-great cooling system, on idle browsing chrome and web the fans wont even kick on which is exactly what I was looking for
-2 thunderbolt usb c charging ports and only needs 65 watt charger which is super compact
-good battery life, about 10 hours browsing or 4 hours video editing, and also because it only needs 65 watts, there are portable power banks that can deliver 65 watts that easily fit in a backpack and can make this machine easily last any kind of drive or flight
-can still do some games, can play league of legends at 60fps, cant really do any kind of call of duty though
-pair this with an egpu and you will get the best of both worlds, portability and gaming
I was having a ton of issues at the beginning, as most reviews were saying, but easy fix
-uninstall everything razer and synapse
-run Intel® Driver & Support Assistant from the web
After that, no issues, it looks cool, good performance, it works with windows 11, happy with the machine.
