though some may be wishing for IPS panel as well.
I picked up one. I know speed is relative, especially with the workload you are throwing at it, but this is a good, fast laptop, for the price. I did migrate it out of Windows S mode and ran some debloat scripts.
While at Microcenter I picked up a Inland brand 512GB Sata SSD hard drive. They had them at the Atlanta/Duluth store for $25. It has a free bay for an internal SSD hard drive.
The laptop does not come with a sata cable or screws to mount a hard drive. I ordered this one.

I can confirm that it fits perfectly, is exactly the correct length, and works. It is a bit tedious to connect the ribbon cable to the motherboard.
This isn't a gaming or high end business laptop, but for my use case, it's great. So far, no complaints.

I expect that's how the next gen of cheap laptops is. Else, for now, I'll stick with a used T470

I'd go back to windows 10.
The micro-battery seems to be an annoying point.
Can you put this SSD in the 2nd bay if it has one?

The true maximum RAM capacity is almost certainly not the 12GB the manufacturer "officially" supports. (It's very common to see "underspecing" of maximum RAM capacity in PC specs.)
It's pretty safe to assume one could install a 16GB module or 32GB module into the SO-DIMM slot and have 20GB or 36GB of RAM, respectively.
