That's fair. Is this your only computer? Certainly with the USB-A it can be handy when out and about, though for me the only thing would be some old thumb drives. The headphone jack is a major blow (I don't own any wireless earbuds), as is the MicroSD storage expansion which I presume is hidden behind the cover like the Pro 5 is. I don't see the surface pen storage on the 7+, is it like the one in the 12" 12th gen that charges the pen too?

Yep! Intel Arc "Alchemist" Series supported full Av1 decoding & encoding in 2022. This is the lowest end, A310. (The A380 is actually a little cheaper used for some reason). https://www.intel.com/content/...raphics/specifications.html

It's slow compared to the classic. And thats me using new as my default . Images don't load sometimes and I'm forced to use classic

Agreed. A lot of people I know still thinks that Edge is IE with a different icon! They keep saying their software won't work on IE. Sigh

Do share the info please 👍
