I definitely wouldn't call a 16:10 display "great", no matter what other characteristics it has.

[great fake 144 Hz]

1700 bucks for 16 GB RAM and no GPU/VRAM? Forget running useful AI LLM models on this. More: notebookchat.com/index.php?topic=315954.0 ("Your own ChatGPT, offline: AI without the cloud on your laptop") and comments.

(At least it allows upgrading up to 96 GB RAM, but this is still artificially limited by the company, because the CPU themselves support up to 256 GB RAM since Ryzen 7840 (see on official AMD website, just type the CPU name into a search engine). Framework laptops support more than 96 GB RAM on the same CPU.)

If the display is "great", why doesn't it cover Display P3?
400 nits isn't anything special either.
You say its 144 Hz, but it says "NE160QDM-NX4, IPS, 2560x1600, 16", 120 Hz"?
And even if it's 144 Hz, the image will look smooth, but soft/unsharp, due to slow pixel response times of 36.2ms and 19.6ms: 1/0.0362 = true 27 Hz and 1/0.0196 = true 51 Hz. Super fake 144 Hz..unbelievable..
