I have one with an 1135g7. I bought it to replace a surface laptop and to support the idea of unsoldered ram and easy replacement parts. I upgraded the display, replaced the lid hinges, and dropped it right on the power button corner so had to replace the keyboard/lid/base the other year. For the money could have given a different machine with better specs but nice to repair.

It works well with good build quality but battery life isn’t amazing. I rarely swap out the ports so less helpful than I thought.

In a couple years I might change the battery and motherboard. For my use case something with a Costco or Microsoft accidental damage warranty is probably the way to go but I’ll eventually upgrade the motherboard and battery.

One other consideration is I usually give old tablets, phones, laptops to my extended family. In this case I won't as not enough parts. I think when I do replace the motherboard it I'll the old mobo/ram/ssd as a blueiris machine instead of running it on a VM.
