These are really compelling machines in general, I know some youtubers are saying the style is dated, but I disagree. The only way they get better imo is to have dedicated ethernet. But that's incredibly unlikely these days and many of you probably don't even consider it to be a loss at this point as the world has kinda moved on.

the only downside for me, as a linux user, is the "killer" wifi. My last brush with this card was not pleasant at all, reminiscent of the mid-2000's era of "not working" and "when it does it randomly drops stuff". But I suppose the card is easily replaceable. (as, I have a precision and it's basically an XPS with ECC, a Xeon and a proper intel wifi card).

Now I have to figure out how to convince my IT dept. to buy me one. :)
