The 2.8K OLED display is the best display to get in 2024. This laptop's display is same as Acer Swift Go 14 Laptop - SFG14-72-53BP.
Processor - A Tetradeca core Intel Ultra 7 155H processor is one of the fastest chips to get in 2024. This chip is capable of running processing intensive applications.
Graphics - Built-in Intel ARC graphics are good for laptop’s display and are not for gaming. If you are a software engineer mainly a mobile application developer, you can run android and iPhone emulators without any issue.
RAM - 16 GB RAM is sufficient for most of the tasks. You may feel some lag for heavy applications when run continuously for hours. You have to clear RAM by closing the application and running it again. This may depend on the application, it's just my experience with less RAM and heavy applications.
Storage - 1 TB of SSD is more than enough for almost all people. You can use external hard drives if needed.
Ports - No LAN port, other than that high speed ports with micro SD slots are good for outdoors.
