The limited RAM configuration choices are a major nuisance. The 8GB configuration is seriously limiting even in Windows 10 and Windows 11 does not seem to improve the situation much. Using large applications can easily get close to even the largest 16GB configuration. There seems to be no reason to forego even the availability of a single RAM upgrade slot in the laptop, as previously even cheap models had this choice. Being left with a single configuration possibility vastly reduces the laptop's main life potential as well as its re-usability, being wasteful on resources.

The integrated graphics performance is poor, whether you have an AMD or Intel configuration. It seems almost pointless that such fast CPUs are coupled with abysmal graphics chipsets. As it seems, the pro lineup should have been supplied only with dedicated graphics capabilities. Even the graphics chipset lineup seems inadequate as highly performing video cards from AMD and Nvidia are not included either, making the top of the line models still short on GPU performance.

The storage selection is decent but it does not feature high performance SSDs but low-end PCIe NVME choices that are only slightly better than SATA models, being, again, far from the PRO moniker. It is true that affordable SSDs can be present on the lower end models, but the top of the line one should have a much better one. Just as important, 1TB SSDs seem quite on the low side for video editors, the 2TB choice should have been present.

The chassis seems reasonably well made but it does not have a frame stiff enough to improve survivability. Also, the lower case bends slightly when using the keyboard, making the typing experience not that pleasant, despite the overall good performance of the keyboard itself. The trackpad feels smooth and sensitive, being comfortable to use and generally precise enough. As is standard with most laptops, it is large and support multiple gestures.
