Let me start by saying this AIO PC is a lifesaver for my mobile workflow. As someone who juggles remote work while caring for family, being able to wheel this from my home office to the kitchen island (yes, it actually fits between the blender and coffee maker!) has been revolutionary.
The QHD touchscreen is stunning - colors pop when I'm editing photos for clients, and the anti-glare coating means I can work by sunny windows without squinting. That said, the touch responsiveness isn't quite iPad-level; sometimes takes two taps to register when my hands are slightly damp from cooking.
Performance-wise, the 13th Gen i3 handles my 20+ Chrome tabs + Zoom calls surprisingly well. Though when I tried editing 4K drone footage in DaVinci Resolve, it chugged - clearly not meant for heavy creative workloads.
The battery life is exactly as advertised: about 4 hours streaming Netflix at medium brightness. I keep it plugged in during work hours, but love having battery backup during sudden power outages (happens often in my area).
Now the weirdest quirk - that browser issue. After digging through settings, I discovered Windows 11's 'Recommended Browser' feature was forcing Edge. A quick toggle in System > Apps > Default Apps fixed it completely.
The adaptive audio is low-key brilliant - when I step away to grab coffee, volume automatically decreases so I don't blast coworkers on Zoom calls. Though it sometimes overcompensates when my cat walks by!
At $899, it's pricier than basic laptops but considering you're getting a full desktop experience with portability? For my needs, worth every penny. Just don't expect gaming or hardcore video editing capabilities.
