I did not spend much time analyzing this laptop however it is very appealing. I agree, put Linux on it. I posted this incase someone might be in the market for a decent and discounted laptop. I have too much hardware and am saving up to build a fire breathing 12 core 48GB of RAM VM machine so I can have a serious home lab.

Stephen,

If you have a trusted source for used equipment, I think there are people on the list that might benefit from that information.

i would run Chrome OS Flex or Linux on that. Win 11 is kind of iffy in
my book, and The S version is half an OS.

I have a friend that has 5 laptops for sale right now. He removes
all data on it and makes sure everything is running right and
installs windows 10 on it. I bought one and it’s great. I
installed Linux on it and runs just fine. It is an HP probook. He
works for the business that gets ready to replace laptops. Mine is
only a little over 2 years old. I can get a list of them he has for
sale and the price for them if you’d like.

About Windows 11 in S mode

Windows 11 in S mode is a version of Windows 11 that's streamlined
for
security and performance, while providing a familiar Windows
experience. To increase security, it allows only apps from
Microsoft
Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing.


It's a crippled system !!!

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
