I've been using this laptop multiple hours as a daily traveler since Feb 2023, and I absolutely love it. It's a solid 5-of-5 stars... and I paid $850 for it! Solid performance, good build, gorgeous display, bafflingly light weight, zero fan issues. Btw, I do mainly data science programming and other general work/professional type stuff with mine -- zero gaming, some youtube premium.
I would note four things:
Keyboard does NOT have the number pad and remaining QWERTY keys are centered relative to display (which is precisely the no-numpad config I was looking for).
My config ad said 400 nits, but my display came with 500 nits.
I occasionally run a VM or two a la HyperV -- acceptable user experience, but limited by the overall 16GB.
My early boot-up squawked cuz I needed to accept a bitlocker related config, but had not.
Emphasis #4: The issue is not with the unit -- it's basically asking if you want to proceed with the MS Win11 Pro bitlocker config.
Now that I've dropped this post, on to Costco.com to order a 2nd for Fedora Core 39 only config!
Hope this helps.
I'm sure you can answer your own question kid.
