Hardware:

Model:HP Victus 16 d1010-nr
CPU: Intel I7-12700H

Statement of Purpose:

    This laptop was acquired to meet a few overall needs:
  1. To replace the laptop that was repurposed into the home server
  2. For some light gaming
  3. To meet schooling needs
  4. In the case that we need to edit video

Next Emanation:

This machine will be in use for many years to come. I used my last laptop from Q4 2011 until ~Q2 2022, so I anticipate this one lasting at least half that time. I will definitely upgrade the RAM along the way, but I'm not in a hurry yet. I want to get a strong feeling for how its current 16GB DDR5-4800 operates before upgrading. There is another M.2 slot, so I have a plan to try installing another NVMe SSD booting Linux off of a partition and using another partition on it for secondary Windows storage
