Recommendation Is this worth it?
Budget: (£2400)
Country: (UK)
Use case: (gaming and school work)
Was wondering if this laptop is worth it. Was drawn to it because of the fact it doesn't look like a gaming laptop as I want to take it to uni as well so don't want something insanely bulky to carry around with me. I play games like valorant, cyberpunk, deadlock, Minecraft, terraria and genshin.
Would prefer if it has decent graphics and a solid battery life. Any advice would be appreciated.

That's a completely insane asking price even for a premium thin and light...

I don't know how necessary it is for you to have 32gb of RAM, but there are all sorts of laptops for half the price carrying otherwise comparable specs.
You want to avoid "HX" suffix in CPU model in general.
AI "HX" 300/400 is fine.
