Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Creative professionals needing pen input on a colour-accurate 72% gamut screen will benefit. Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C 3.1 ports support external GPUs and fast storage. Buyers who need more internal storage or user-upgradable memory should consider other configurations. The 65-watt adapter limits sustained heavy loads.

Deciding specification — 128 GB NVMe SSD

The single 128 GB NVMe SSD is the specification that decides fit. With zero free memory slots and no 2.5-inch bay, capacity cannot be expanded internally. Workflows requiring large local datasets or multiple virtual machines will hit this limit immediately. Cloud or external storage becomes mandatory for such users.
