Note, the description here is wrong. There is no Ethernet port on this laptop.
I always reformat any laptop I buy, then do a fresh install of Windows and/or Linux. I'd say it's the easiest way to completely remove all the bloatware.
Same price but get the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V instead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 256,

Think it's worth it for the Ultra 7 processor and the 1TB hard drive? Are there other differences I'm missing? Seems like $40 more for those things is worth it?

To take it a step further, I'd go into the Startup Apps (found in the Task Manager) and disable pretty much everything except maybe the RealTek Service and SecurityHealthSystray.
Normally, I'd just reinstall Windows completely, but I was too lazy to find my flash drive. Probably not the best option for non-technical users though.
Windows will automatically activate itself when you connect to the Internet, no key required.
If you don't want to use a Microsoft online login when setting up Windows, there are workarounds.
