So far so good, gobs of memory, games well too

Pros: Loaded up LM Studio and had no problem running Gemma 4 26B, and Quen3.5 35B. Dramatically better performance than the B580. Perfect timing with the LM Link launch, now our humble little laptops can run the big (local) models. Quick test on Cyberpunk, near maxed out with RT on, at 3440x1440 about 70 FPS, or 120 FPS with frame gen if that's your thing. AC Shadows, Ultra Preset w/ RT on, 3440x1440, 38 FPS, or 68 FPS w/ frame gen. GPU @ 75°C RedDead2, Ultra everything, 3440x1440, 70-90+ FPS depending on location. Ran a handful of other games I had installed without issues.
Cons: Coil whine much louder than the B580 when loading models / games.
Overall Review: Will buy another one when stock settles down.
2nd Refurb gone bad

Pros: Mic works well, wireless can go a couple of rooms.
Cons: 2nd refurb started having the same problem as the first after a few weeks of use, bad left speaker unless it is in just the right position. Fear it will cut out completely with continued use.
Overall Review: Buying new next time.
