How good is this device.
Mostly for being plugged into a monitor and used at home. Looking at something that would last a few good years. The latest gen is the 15th gen from Intel am I wrong in thinking the CPU is already 3 years old?
Do people get commission for complaining about "only 8GB of RAM" or acting surprised that the RAM is soldered (which sadly is the norm)?*
*The industry standard in this price point is NON-upgradable RAM. Not even worth asking 99.8% of the time unless it is a gaming, creator, or desktop replacement laptop.
Now, an adult question: where does the 'Ultra 5 125H' stack in tier compared to Intels other 73 lines of mobile processors? The Ultra series are a step up from your standard 'Core' SKU's, correct?

They made a decent product here then basically nerfed the potential with the ram.
Pros
-Nice screen
-Great ports
-Thin and light
-Reasonable latest gen processor
-75wh battery
There's a lot to like.
What do you need 16GB of ram for anyway? I have this exact laptop and use it for work. I have excel opened, my work virtual environment and a browser with multiple tabs and it works flawlessly. Also, the battery is fantastic and right up there with my M3 MacBook Air.
