In love with the laptop, but i am not arguing its the best laptop for everyone.I bought this laptop during Blackfriday of 2021. I had 3 choices back then Xps 13 for $650 , 128gb version of Surface laptop 4 for $699 , the 13.6 inch version of this laptop at $699 and this one for $749.
For me the most important things for my laptop were 1) extremely lightweight as I travels a lot 2) the best possible screen 3)without compromising performance .
The reason why i opted this laptop over other choices are 1) 128gb ssd on surface can be extremely problematic in the long run, this one comes with 4x the ssd size, also surface came with a Ryzen processor, even though pretty much comparable to i5 11 we have here i have a personal preference for intel, however i still think surface have a better screen , but i dont trust the touch screens much when it comes to life. 2) The only real advantage over xps 13 is the Amoled screen, 3) i eventually went for 15.6 inch purely because the price went down from $749 to $600 while the price for 13.6 remained at 699.
I wish to mention that similar version of LG gram was also being sold around the price of $750 during that time. I have seen one of those and the back of screen fluxes in and out if you press. For Samsung its more rigid on top, but do have little bit flexing on the bottom.
ps: It looks like a very fragile laptop and needs extra care while handling . I am an extremely light user , so I dont really know how well the laptop can dissipate heat when handling prolonged high end use.
I have a galaxy phone, so the Samsung note app and Quickshare were extremely pleasant surprises and are extremely useful.
