I’m quite sure someone will disagree. And that’s okay. But I think this is a great buy myself. And I recently shopped these, and ended up buying the same thing only the 9305 model, which is the lowest model of these. It’s an i5 8gb RAM 256gb NVME, non touch and either FHD, or 2k/quad HD screen (no 4k) with a bottom bezel. So infinity screen on the other 3 sides.
I got it on sale at $699. Very happy with it. It’s very fast. And no issues so far. Screen is absolutely stunning compared to everything else I own. I’m very happy. I also recently built an Intel NUC with an 11th gen i3 (the cheapest one too) 32gb, 1Tb, and that is also a very fast machine. This is relevant because they use laptop CPU’S in them also. My point is that the 11th gen are very modern chips, and will stay relevant for a long time.
As will this laptop. It has 2 Thunderbolt 4. I wouldn’t buy any computer that doesn’t have at least Thunderbolt 3, but 4 is the best. It has tip top WiFi and Bluetooth also. The three best devices I own for fast WiFi are the 2 computers I mentioned (which both have the same or very similar Wi-Fi cards), and my iPhone 13 Pro Max. So it’s all up to date on i/o stuff. In fact it’s pretty much maxed out.
It’s got the i7. Which is probably overkill for most, and will stay relevant as long as you own the laptop most likely. While I would like 32gb RAM. 16 is plenty in most situations. I do fine with 8gb myself, but it’s not used for heavy tasks. So this is where you want to really think about your needs, and is really the only possible problem area, but only for really heavy duty usage. In everyday computing it’s overkill really. And a 1Tb NVME is great IMO. Especially since you can add on later if needed via the Thunderbolt ports with no significant loss in speed, or convenience.
And I’m assuming the touch screen will look great, but that’s just a guess. I’ve not seen this particular one unfortunately. Like I said though. My basic model looks amazing. I wish my dual 27" monitors looked half as good, and they’re definitely not budget models either. That’s about everything I can think of to say on this unit. And I hope it helps at least 1 person that’s not as much of a geek as some of us are.
Either way. Have a great day all.
