Great OS drive

SAMSUNG 990 EVO PLUS SSD 1TB, PCIe Gen 4x4 | Gen 5x2 M.2 2280, Speeds Up-to 7,150 MB/s, Upgrade Storage for PC/Laptops, HMB Technology and Intelligent Turbowrite 2.0 (MZ-V9S1T0B/AM)

Pros: Fast, cool, obviously quiet. I don't like to run everything off of one drive, always have secondary drives that I put other programs on. So, I have no idea how this drive works with it being the sole drive on a Windows PC. However, with just the OS and a few programs, it is phenomenally fast, and cool.

Cons: Doesn't have DRAM, so teh drive will wear harder and faster, but at 600TB lifetime it should still last longer than the PC.

Overall Review: Definitely, if you can get it at around $80 as of the time of this writing.

Good buy

HP ProBook x360 11 G6 EE Intel Core i5-10210Y 8GB Memory 256GB PCIe SSD Intel UHD Graphics 11.6" Touch Screen 1366 x 768 Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 3C536UT#ABA

Pros: - Decent Battery life - Very powerful compared to other 11.6' laptops. Probably better than a lot of 12-13" laptops - Passively cooled, if you can believe it.

Cons: - You'll likely damage or destroy it if you are not super careful when upgrading the storage. - Screen isn't the best. Its not dim like some say, however colors are very washed out. - Can get a little hot to the touch, though the cpu is in no danger of overheating

Overall Review: Power consumption is pretty good, I can watch around 45 minutes of FHD video and only drain about 10%. I have another 11.6" laptop that has a N5000 cpu and the i5-10210Y absolutely destroys it in the performance metric. It is passively cooled which is amazing, however the underside near the back of the unit can get a bit hot during moderate use. Maxing out the cpu can make the entire underside scorching, but the cpu temps never get dangerous. The screen is the only major disappointment. Other have complained that it is dim, but I disagree. Maybe if you used it in full sun, but who does that? No, the real problem is color gamut and washed out visual. Everything looks kind of bleached. However for such a small powerful laptop, that is ok.
