    I am very happy today. Why? Well, you should read my super-enthusiastic review of the Slimbook Executive 14-in laptop, with 14-core, 20-thread Intel i7-12700H processor, Iris Xe 4K graphics, 32GB RAM and one M.2 NVMe 1TB drive, covering laptop delivery process, technical specifications, look and feel, spectacular build and fantastic ergonomics, display and keyboard quality, operating system choice - Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, installation with encrypted LVM, user import and application setup, 3K HD scaling, software configuration and some associated usability niggles, day-to-day usage, performance, responsiveness, temperatures, noise, hardware compatibility, excellent battery life, some cool extras, sweet photos, and more. Enjoy most profoundly.

    I like the 16:10 ratio.
    Too bad no pics of bottom/rear. Would like to see the fans positioning (suck from the bottom, exhaust through the rear, right?).

    Well, I could take some fresh photos ... :)
    The geometry is as you say, indeed.

    What's not to like about all that extra resolution.
    I had a 24" Dell desktop monitor for a very, very long time which I have sadly retired recently for a 32" monitor - and a 16:9 ratio.

    You can run Windows apps in the cloud, which means you don't have to rely on Windows proprietary software. Microsoft Edge can install them through its install interface and you can quickly pin them to your dock or panel.
