Thanks to Community Member Suryasis for sharing this deal.
I purchase this laptop about a month ago and at the same time purchased a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro to replace the stock 1TB. I couldn't get the Samsung cloning software to work until I turned off bitlocker. Because this laptop comes with Windows 11 Pro bitlocker is enabled by default. Not sure if you purchase an SSD from another brand if it will have the same issue so just be aware if you plan on installing a larger SSD.
I'd normally complain about soldered RAM, but not at 64GB. And it's LPDDR5X, BTW.
RAM is super high quality, runs at CL18. For reference, this is about half the latency of normal DDR5.
Screen is very nice, it's actually a 90Hz panel that they crippled to 60Hz with software. You need to use Custom Resolution Utility CRU to actually run it at 90Hz.
Battery life is mediocre though. Requires significant tweaking to make it decent. Probably around 6 hours before tweaks.
Overall it's a solid setup as long as ultra long battery life isn't your #1 priority.

Ram is soldered, but it's also LPDDR5X (the fastest type) so the value is subjective.
No TB4 ports, but has a RJ-45 port which is rare nowadays.
Screen is 60Hz OLED, eats battery and likely has PWM if you're one of the few people affected by that.
By comparison the HP Elitebook 845 G10 had SODIMM slots, 2 x TB4 ports and a 120hz 500 nit IPS screen. I was all over this model until I saw HP's specs.

I bought this few weeks ago and I am getting battery life of 4 hours max. This is without tweaking. I am doing nothing other than browsing. Does any one know what are those tweaks that bring up the battery life ?

OK, this is the same 14 90Hz OLED as in ASUS and a few others. Decent screen BTW.
But WHY would they limit it to 60Hz by software???

I assume due to the dreadful battery life that it already has. There's a significant difference running 90Hz OLED and 60Hz OLED in terms of battery drain.

Linux is showing the panel as 90Hz and by default switches to 90Hz. I agree that battery life is worse and its not recommended to switch to 90Hz

Use UXTU https://amdaputuninguti
To limit the power to 5W normally and 10W boost when unplugged.
Won't make a difference unless you're doing video editing or something else super demanding, in which case you'd need to plug it in anyway.
