Its a solid stand-in for a mid-tier laptop! Most everyday laptop stuffs like web browsing and code editing it drives like a charm!

Don't expect too much, though! From my experience video editing is a bit too heavy for the lil guy - and some softwares can be kinda tough to run due to the sandboxed nature of steamOS (eg visual studio code, librewolf).

I think switching to another OS like Cashy or (if it doesn't get axed?) Bazzite would probly be the way to go if you intend to use it for more than simple apps & web browsing!
