Very low bloat. And if you use mainly Google cloud based Apps you can get pretty much everything done.

The only problem is the lack of a 'premium' model that isn't cheap plastic.

...Define bloat.

Because if you say thAt a Beyond Linux From Scratch built system with a package manager integrated is bloated, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact there is a certain minimum footprint symbol table wise to provide a complete interface to the hardware for the user. Which can also be had literally ad-free, no web telemetry, no one else's encryption keys involved.

Anything using a cloud suite like Google or Azure, I assure you, is fundamentally not unbloated.
