Absolutely amazing review! Including the test conditions for things like ambient noise and audio levels at various fan settings/workloads was extremely helpful. Thank you!!

For AI, only the memory size and memory bandwidth matter. This is commodity/generic hardware and there's nothing special about it to justify the "AI" in its product name. This laptop is not faster for AI and has not more memory (GPU: 5070 Ti Laptop 12 GB VRAM; RAM: 32 GB, dual-channel) than 99% of notebooks/desktop PCs out there.
Does it at least support 128 GB RAM, to at least slightly justify the "AI" in its product name?
