great machine at $399. Aluminum body feels quite premium, definitely punching above the weight class. Trackpad is also much better than expected in the price class. Comes with Intel AX211 wifi, again, better than others in this price range. Touch screen doesn't matter much to me, but a nice feature. Screen is nothing special, but at 350 nits bright enough. Arc graphics means I can play some older titles and less graphically demanding stuff. I also got a code for Assassin's Creed Shadows, so assuming I can flip that for around $20-30 then this will have been $370ish+tax. I think this is a no brainer at this price.
The Arc iGPU on this can easily play those games. There are YouTube videos out there for gaming tests on the Intel 125H, Fortnite is consistently 90-100+ FPS and I see no issues at all with Sims, as it's an older title and light on graphics.

The iGPUs in Intel Series 1 & 2, along with AMD chips (680M, 780M, 880M) are all more than capable of playing light to medium games. Again, there are YouTube videos out there for these chips pushing 30-45 FPS for titles like Cyberpunk even.

Too many enthusiasts think that you need at least a $500+ dedicated GPU to get even any form of gaming performance, and that's simply not true anymore with the current state of iGPUs. Besides a vast majority of people are playing very resource light games like Fortnite, Overwatch, Diablo, Marvel Rivals, etc. All these F2P, Games as a Service, type of offerings. Low to Med settings suffice for most consumers.
OP, note that the USB-C ports are USB 4/ thunderbolt.

I wonder how did you get the game code? Does it come with this laptop?
Nevermind, I found the answer, it comes with the laptop.

if you're just doing basic word/excel/etc then you should be more than fine.

I picked one of these up last week when they rotated back into stock. It's a great PC so far, feels quite premium, quick, the fingerprint scanner is a nice touch I didn't realize it had.

There is a little bit of light bleed in the corners for me when on a very dark screen. I've only noticed it once.

Do you know if it fits a 2280 SSD?
