Dell Inspiron 17 7706

Strengths

The laptop's Intel 11th generation i7 core processor (1165G7) performs well in Nova benchmark tests, achieving a score of 1948 and a average CPU score of 1211.
Thermal management is effective, with the fan kicking in to release excess heat and keeping the temperature under control.
The laptop can handle video editing software rendering without significant issues or overheating.
It has a good performance profile, with temperatures fluctuating between 60s to 100 degrees Celsius, but returning to manageable levels when not under load.
The laptop's cooling system is effective in exhausting heat, keeping the surface temperature at a comfortable level.

Weaknesses

There were some anomalous benchmark results, possibly due to software issues or external factors.
The laptop can become quite hot when performing demanding tasks like video editing, with temperatures reaching up to 100 degrees Celsius.
It was noted that the surface temperature of the laptop body is not reflective of the internal processor temperature, which can get very high.
There were instances where the temperature fluctuated rapidly between 90s and 60s, possibly due to the fan struggling to keep up with heat dissipation.
While it performed well in general, there was some inconsistency in benchmark scores, possibly due to factors like software issues or usage patterns.

The display is not 4K but hey it's perfect enough for what I'm doing
There are two different kinds of charging ports, which can be confusing
