For $1000 it looks ok to me!

  I guess it's not surprising that a forum full of tech professionals would ignore price when judging things, but the fact that it's fairly cheap absolutely is important for a tonne of people. Not everyone needs enough ram to simultaneously run a bunch of VMs and train a neural network and edit 4k video all at the same time lol. (Although 16gb is almost a non starter for Unreal Engine development, and that does run on Linux albeit with some prerequisite yak shaving)

    You can upgrade it to 64 GB

  For the most part I agree. It seems to be quite nice, assuming the screen is decent (my older HP that my work gave me gas a terrible screen). Having 16 GB and 1 TB SSD for about $1000 is pretty good. I’m not a fan of the arrow keys, Apple made that same mistake. Given the other specs I’m sure this isn’t possible without raising the price, but I just can’t believe people are still buying brand new laptops in 2022 that have 1080p screens. I mean if it’s a $400 budget model ok I guess. I suppose I’m more surprised people find that acceptable than that vendors sell it. Do people not know something much better is available? Ignoring those two complaints/preferences this seems like a pretty decent PC laptop.
