I bought this laptop mainly for college work, but I use it for both college work and gaming. The laptop can handle several things. It's great for small projects and keeping track of any of my plans during the week as it's convenient in almost any scenario I've brought it in.

I've had no issues after using it daily for 3 months. Sometimes I shut it down, sometimes sleep, sometimes hybernate, and sometimes I'll forget and just leave it on overnight. The start up time from full power off is <15 seconds even with Fast Boot disabled in Windows which is simply amazing to me. I have two monitors plugged in to a DisplayLink dock which is then plugged into the Thunderbolt port, and then I have my gaming monitor plugged into the HDMI port. By doing this I can run the extra two monitors and Youtube/etc off the integrated Arc graphics on the CPU, and my gaming monitor runs off the dedicated RTX 4070. I also use the Copilot feature a lot for summarizing what would take me hours of reading forums and Reddit and comments and research, which I find extremely convenient and useful. I'm currently playing Doom (2016), CS2, Stalker 2, Jedi Survivor and Star Wars Outlaws on high settings 1440p, ray tracing if available, frame gen off, and DLSS quality and having a great time. 32gb of ram is plenty for gaming and leaving an app or two open on 2nd monitor, ram is not soldered so can be upgraded, and there are multiple NVME slots for storage upgrades as well.
- Good performance overall - Good performance up-to 32B Large Language Models - Good performance at videogames, at par or better than my 7700S. - Fans are mostly off during regular use. - When gaming, fans are not very loud in comparison to my Framework 16 - Works mostly out-of-box with Linux
I am very happy with this laptop. The screen is huge and it comes with lots of accessories which is rare nowadays. It charges very quickly which is great for taking it around to work outside the house.
