If anyone is considering this for Adobe products etc.. this is from one of the reviews:

"Display test results: Contrast 831:1 - sRGB color space 60% - Adobe RGB profile 47.3% - DCI-P3 color gamut 40.1% - Response time 27 ms"

I had the last gen tuf series, which they intentionally blocks the heat vent, so the machine is severely nerfed and throttled.

How's this year version? Is the air vent still blocked?

Q: QuestionDoes this model have a second ssd slot?
Asked 1 month ago by BLizzle.

A:Answer To clarify it has a secondary m2 ssd slot. Also has additional slot for ram.

So easy to add more storage and RAM.

Not the best gaming laptop but workable.
The USB C is Thunderbolt 4 so you could add multiple monitors.

https://youtu.be/hWZ7vm-Kwzw Dale replace the RAM and add a 2.5" 1TB WD Blue in there.

I don't have first hand knowledge. However, my general research for adding monitors to laptop lead me to believe Display Link can resolve the multi-monitor problem.

Costco has the Accell K172B-008B [costco.com] docking station connect to a USB 3 port for $59.97 + $6.99 shipping.
Wavlink USB 3 Universal Docking Station WL-UG39DK1 [newegg.com] was on sale at newegg for $65. It goes on sale once a while if you can wait.

Display Link has a product listing page here [displaylink.com].
Here is a brief explanation of what Display Link is: https://danielcompton.net/2021/07...le-display

In Dale's video [youtu.be], he add a 2.5 1TB WD with a cable. The cable came from a bag, new. IIRC, I read they are included with the laptop.

Why is it that every deal that is sold simultaneously by Best Buy on it's main site and on it's eBay store shows on Slickdeals with the eBay logo? It should show as a Best Buy, not eBay.
