    I own one of these laptops. The speakers are software boosted. When you use Linux or uninstall the Dolby software, the sound quality is terrible.

    I've been using my laptop with same specs for 3-4 weeks now. Love it. CPU, GPU, looks, screen are all top-notch.

    I'd prefer a standard USB charger, better battery life (it doesn't get me through the day, and I'm not a gamer). Better speakers would be helpful too.
    However, my webcam is really good (1080p), so I'm surprised by your experience there.
    Overall, a great laptop if you can grab it at thr right price – for this spec that would be around 2K USD in late 2021.

    How far back can you fold the hinge? I like laptops that I can fold into a tablet mode if I want to use their monitor as a second screen in conjunction with my desktop.

      180 degrees. It won't flip all the way back around like the Yoga series.

    I am a novice programmer, is this laptop suitable for me?

    I want to buy this laptop for my son, he loves digital designs
    Is it suitable for him or not?
    If it is not suitable, can you introduce me to a more suitable model?

      Either model is capable but if he's really serious and cares about color volume, you'll probably want to lean towards the 4k model over the QHD one I reviewed.
