The battery is really great, like the 2020 M1 MBP. The 4GB RAM limit kicks sometimes in with some software, like Firefox. But with MS Edge, it´s really usable internet laptop. Really hope, that there will be an 8GB RAM and >64GB SSD version in the future. The Windows CPU scheduler needs some fixing too, the 2 Performance Cores kick too late in.  :o

What's the maximum angle when opening laptop? Is it close to 180 degrees or more like 110-120 degrees? Thanks for answer, cheers.

Really sad that it loses out in performance to Jasperlake - Acer Swift 1 SF114-34-P91A and having a plastic case instead of Aluminium.
