Do you guys think it is ok for a 1350€ laptop? Here is the link to the store page if you interested having a look.
Thank you for reading.
I think it might be worth your time looking into the Frameworks laptops. To get a good cpu and the same io as you'd get here would cost you ~1200$ iirc, but the refresh rate would be lower. But if you do decide to buy this I wouldn't recommend getting linux preinstalled.
Edit: Just checked and that would be with a very low end cpu, so nvm. Getting one with a intel chip with comparable performance would set you back 2600$.
