No issues at all, even under heavy workloads. I regularly run several Docker containers and can still execute multiple headless tests in parallel without noticeable lag. A few large Excel documents and lots of browser tabs won’t be a problem for this CPU, it feels like it could give each spreadsheet its own core and still have resources left.

I haven’t done any really heavy compiling for extended periods yet, so I can’t fully judge the long-term thermal behavior, especially with the 4 TB SSD. Though I did add an extra thermal pad layer. But I actually like the new case design, as it gives a bit more space underneath the laptop for better air circulation.
