gram 17-inch Lightweight Laptop Computer, Intel Evo Edition Powered by Intel Core Ultra7 256V Processor, Copilot+ Windows 11 Home, 16GB RAM, 2TB SSD - Obsidian Black

To be upfront, I am not a heavy AI user but I liked the specs of this one from the get-go. So first and foremost, the weight or lack thereof is insane, my gaming laptop is probably 3x as heavy, this one feels like a feather. It is so easy to carry around I feel like I have a tablet.The screen is outstanding, super-clear, and vibrant. I have used it to watch videos, do some minor photo editing and have let me kid play minecraft and roblox which both play as smooth as my gaming laptop with outstanding quality.Performance wise, this one hums. It boots up in seconds, doesn't struggle to run anything I have tried on it and well not sure what else to say, I have not found anything yet it struggles with though I haven't played any super modern intense games (it doesn't have a dedicated Nvideo or AMD graphics card).Finally, battery life is exceptional, it is advertised to do something like 20 hours or more and that might be true. I haven't tried to use it that long and normally keep it plugged in at home. It has lasted for the entire day for the couple times I have taken it on a trip/vacation though I only used it off and on throuhgout the day and had it plugged in at night.Bottomline, and I know this is a pricey laptop but if you are looking for performance and portability (outside of AAA games) this is the laptop for you!

I have used this for the past 5 or so months and really like it. I used it all summer and fall for weekend trips and other traveling and the light weight at around 3 lbs was noticed vs the prior laptop. It came with a regular power brick, but I swapped it out for one of those smaller, plug-in ones that had additional ports where I could charge my phone and other devices. The laptop prefers 100W+, but works fine with 67W. The screen is huge at 17" and I don't know what the 2560x1600 resolution is labeled, but it is great and useful. This also uses little power, and there is minimal drain in sleep mode. I opened i after two weeks and there was still a good charge.I cannot speak about the AI or using it for gaming, but for my needs it was perfect. The Ultra 7 is more than fast enough for what I do. I mostly used for email, documents, conference calls and the occasional streaming. The large screen also came in handy when I connected remotely to other machines, with the large resolution I had no issues mirroring my other systems.There only drawback I could see is the 16GB of ram vs the 32GB on the Ultra 9 version. Also, there is an oddity, at least in what I have seen, in that the drive is split into two 1GB partitions instead of one large 2GB partition. Probably some decision based upon recovery, and it really doesn't matter as I have used minimal space.Personally I have issues with the touchpad, but that is a me problem so I always carry a mouse.
