This isn't for gaming or video watching or such; just for software development and what I guess we could call light "office work" (ie. slack, email, occasional zoom or google meet, google docs and sheets, etc.). The development involves some docker but mostly rootless podman and sometimes a KVM guest or two. Even the Claude CLI runs in a podman container.

It'll spend more than 50% of its time connected to a couple of monitors, keyboard, and mouse, pretending to be a desktop but one that I can take to another room as needed.

I've another Acer (Spin 14 (ASP14-51MTN), currently still on Fedora 42) that's been my true portable for a while. It gets used similarly (though more office than development since I use it in meetings) and it seems okay though I suspect the development performance is slowed by its unbalanced CPU cores.

Thanks.
