I picked this up two weeks ago when the same configuration was on sale at the same price with 3x Dell rewards.
I honestly can't recall being more pleased with a laptop in 30+ years of working with them. For the kind of office work, research, and and media consumption I do, it's near perfect:
-LED Screen is very bright and crisp, with good touch responsiveness.
-The 32g onboard (soldered) RAM is generous enough so not having an expansion slot isn't a problem, as is the 1 TB storage.
-Very light yet solid case. Very good looking to boot.
-Very smooth and fast performance while maintaining silence virtually all the time. The new Intel Ultra chips are a great fit for people who prioritize quiet and efficiency.
-Great that (like many newer models) it's powered by a standard USB C connector, so no need to carry a proprietary power brick around.
I haven't tried any of the AI functionality yet.
There are just a few nitpicks. I'd like a USB C on the right side, so you could power it on that side and have another connector. It's too bad the speakers are down-facing, producing a needless muffling on the sound. But I can live with these.
If your use case is like mine, I don't think you'll be dissapointed.

What happened to laptop prices? These same specs less than a year ago would been $500. This is a rebranded Inspiron with flimsy keyboard.
My guess is Dell exploiting the new branding lineup while consumers are still confused.
Check the specs. This is definitely way better specs than any $500 laptop. 32gb fast ddr5 ram, good screen, large HD, newer processor...nothing $500 ish last year would come close to matching this.

How reflective is the glossy display? Viewing angles comparable to IPS?

Do you mean that there is only one USB-C port, and it is taken up by the charger? I was hoping to replicate my current setup, with one monitor connected by HDMI and the other by USB-C with DisplayPort. This thing looks perfect for my usage at a pretty good price. Would love to not have to scramble with USB hubs though.
Edit: Did the unthinkable and checked for myself. I'm ignorant about some of the finer points of tech, but it reads to me like both the Type-C and the Thunderbolt 4 port can be used for DisplayPort or for charging. Think I'll buy this after months of low-key hunting for my next comp!
Michael Dell's goal is to maybe tank Dell so he can buy it back and take it private
I actually realized the reason is the chips aren't made inhouse by Intel, but TSMC which obviously makes the chips way more expensive. Then throw some tariffs into the picture, there ya go.

Nvm. Shows 140v on the Intel site.

Still seems Zenbooks are a better deal though.
