Intel has a now infamous issue with their 13th and 14th gen processors that can catastrophically destroy not only the CPU but also other components. Even the hard drives.
And yes it could affect mobile processors as well.
I'd be very wary on getting any device with a 13 or 14 gen right now.
Why? Because the laptop versions use a lot less power than the desktop versions.

From that, it does affect mobile CPUs. Especially the HX chips.​

If you read it, the HX version is the exact same as the desktop version but just tuned down and made for a laptop. But uses the same manufacturing process as the desktop version. The article also states that it is unknown if this issue is in the laptops. As you need to boost the voltage above 1.4v and push it to over 5.5GHz which then it needs to be at this higher usage for a long period, which it usually isn't unless its a high demanding task.
BUT.....the issue lies within not high usage scenario's but low usage scenario's. They are spontaneous and can happen at anytime. And again, I have seen zero reports on these subreddits of a gaming laptop dying because of the Intel CPU issue. Is it a possibility? Sure, but I haven't seen any laptops fail like desktops.

i7-14700, 32gb ram, 1TB, upgraded screen for 1284.99. I used new customer coupon for additional 50$ off 1234.99. I think urlhasbeenblocked gives 2% cash back as well (if not excluded).
Also, if you talk to customer rep, they can lower it by 30$ IF you don't have the new customer coupon or anything can lower further by 30+$
