My biggest gripe is the WiFi. It has the MediaTek RZ616 which is every bit as awful as stated. With the out of the box drivers it disconnects all the time. The latest WHQL drivers from the windows update website is better but it still randomly switches to 2.4GHz and makes other odd decisions.
I was able to put in an Intel AX210 card at the same time I swapped the SSD and those two upgrades made this a great PC laptop.
But yeah unlike the past few generations of the Pro X and the old "Slim 7 Pro", this one does not run hot/loud.

Are your speakers lopsided with spoken word? Voice seems to come disproportionately from the left side speakers on mine. Seems its the only real flaw of the laptop so far.
Using Word and got about 6-8 Chrome tabs open is easy for this for sure and for now, I have not had much issues with wifi. Battery life has been okay so far, but I haven't done much tests. I've had it last a full workday writing emails, listening to Spotify, and watching the occasional YouTube video @ 1080p.
I'm liking the screen. I'm coming from a Flex 5 from 2020 and the screen was decent at best, so I have a low standards. The speakers are also pretty good, but not Macbook level.
