    I’m thinking about buying the Aero OLED 15 as spec’ed here - https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834233445?Item=9SIAMG8FAC6331

    I’m coming from a low-end MacBook Air, so the change is a little daunting.

    Anything I need to be aware of in terms of problems, incompatibility, etc.?

    The most stress I will put on this laptop is some short 4K videos from a GoPro. No gaming or hardcore video editing…

    Thanks!

    Another question…

    how big of a difference, if any, will I notice between the i9 & i7, and the 3080 vs 3070 & below?

    work uses: working in multiple large databases. Many internet tabs open. Email, virtual meetings, etc.

    personal uses: minor 4K video editing, Netflix, web browsing.

    i7/3070 will be more than enough
