    all are ok options

    it's basically the better metal build quality of the matebook vs the newer cpu of the other ones (aside from flex which also adds different stand modes)

    won't notice much difference in general use on the cpu side really - more for games and video editing or other intensive uses.

    all the webcams are not going to be brilliant - if doing a lot of video calls better to get a usb webcam with autofocus, wide angle and maybe even a built-in light.

    Or is so hard that you shorten it to r? Wow I'm shocked a 12yo has a wife and kids.....

    My missus has recently left her job & needs a new laptop 4 coursework & general family use (e.g. web browsing, zoom calls etc.). I work in IT so would be ok with installing a new OS r adding RAM, etc.,


    Don't spoil her :)
    Get a basic one with Linux for family/work workflow.
