Currently looking at a DIY AMD 7640U, 1x16GB RAM, 250GB storage, 1 USB-C, 2 USB-A, 1 HDMI.

My use case will mostly entail note taking in class. I’ve got a built PC at home.

But I’m not a hardware guy, would I be better served w/ different CPU or RAM set up in your opinions? I’ve mostly picked bottom tier specs but is there anything in your opinions that is worth splurging on, all things considered?

      Most of them? Ever heard of a Surface Pro? The new Minisforum V3? Lenovo makes them. Dell makes them. etc. etc.

        Yep, I’m familiar with the surface, but not other options. I need to check these out as I’ve been looking for a replacement for my laptop that isn’t really suited for the video encoding I’m doing.

        Thanks.

          The Minisforum has had some solid reviews and also has good Linux compatibility, if that interests you at all.
