That deal is posted by me and if you ask me, I'll pay that extra $200 for the performance improvement. In your case, since you're doing photo editing and planning to some video editing, that 1240p CPU will be a huge upgrade over this. That has 4 Performance core and 8 efficient cores, totalling 12 core 16 thread design. That 4 P cores alone can beat 1135G7 both in single and multi threaded workloads. Also, even if the integrated iris Xe GPU with 80 core is same on both, 1240p has it running at higher clockspeed, resulting 12 to 18% more performances and that will definitely help you in editing works
Is there any indication when the Newegg deal will end?
For my uses - photo and video editing (though I'm not doing it all day, every day) is there something else you think could be better for me for under $1000? Ideally even less since I travel and the risk for theft is higher.
I really like my current MSI but I came from a Chromebook I also loved, so maybe I just don't know what's out there. I appreciate any other feedback as well as an indication of when the deal will end. I couldn't see anything on the Newegg site.
