I wanted a macbook air power and efficiency, but running windows. So I tried this 288v platform and it was just painfully slow. Had to return the 288v and go with the amd ryzen ai chips. The battery life is 50% worse than the 288v, but it's much more responsive (and expensive.. sigh).
i got this from Best Buy 2 days back. its very good only drawback is battery. For normal use you cannot get more than 6 hrs which is worse at this price point. Returning it and going with Ultra 7 258V in same model which is good and battery efficient.

Thanks for the feedback on battery. I'd suggest another drawback is weight at 4.5 lbs.
I have this laptop. I think it is very slow during Windows update installation, like stuck at a certain percentage for hours for some reason as if I am using the Intel Celeron. Probably some kind of software bug or throttle from the heat, although I think this is one of the lowest heat in Intel CPUs I have used. The battery only lasted 4 hours doing nothing with 50% brightness. Probably about 60% DCI -P3 color gamut.
