    It's great, the only thing is that I would like a version with 8GB Ram to come out. because I mostly use this type of device for video games and/or surfing the internet. and there are video games like Genshin Impact that it is better to have 8GB Ram or various internet sites where with 4GB Ram. the browser will slow down due to how heavy they are. since there are very few websites that optimize the minimum use of resources to the maximum.
