This is the laptop as the centerpiece of my audio/MIDI research studio. When I got it, it started kicking butt right away, I got it for audio, so 16 gig ram, quad processor, SSD drive all make it hum, it's most notable weakness is that it's only 1.7 Ghz not like 3Ghz & I5. It still is fast and multitasks well.... It is windows 11 Pro, Pro is good....As with all 14" laptops, it's got good real estate on the monitor, but is a little heavy, and a little large, a tradeoff....Hard drive is 512 GB, you might want to trade up to a 1 TB drive. I generally like Dell as an American brand (I don't like HP) and I owned a computer repair company for over 20 years....Gud luk!
