It's a good laptop -- I'm loving my Pangolin 👀

i was wondering what that whole thing was about

looks like a decent laptop, nothing fancy, notably it's AMD, and has two m.2 slots, and can accept up to 96Gb memory, which is pretty fancy really

i'm not a big fan of Pop OS, it's good, especially for gaming, but definitely liking Zorin more now, just has a nicer, more integrated set of UI features... i paid for the pro edition, not that i particularly use much of the other features, just i like to be helping them build it because it was the first live USB i found that supported my new Radeon 7800XT fully (which only was released in december 2023)

the pangolin looks nice tho, the attention to proper mobile device data security is good
