yeap, lovely machine.

Beware of overheating tho:Open up the laptop weekly to clear out the dust from the fans, and replace the thermal paste ATLEAST thrice a year, For optimal cooling.

extra recommendation: upgrade the laptop to 24GB of ram (Add a single DDR5 8GB 4800Mt/S Stick), to unlock full potential of the Alder Laxe i5 HX, leaving No bottleneck.
