Side note: such a description is not very useful because a 10 year old
i7 can be significantly less powerful than a recent i3.

Don't be so harsh on people. Rather be harsh on the corps fleecing them.

Hi,
The link you provided about the Laptop states: "Memory Slot (Available)
0", indicating you would not be able to upgrade the memory.
I believe you can put in an M.2 NVMe and then install Linux to that NVMe, that
way you can still boot Windows as well as Linux?
I would be concerned a

Sorry, I can't tell you for sure if Linux will load on one of these, not
having done the experiment.
I can tell you that I would not plan on dual booting. I have Windows 11

I see an attractive deal on a laptop that is shipped with Windows 11 in S-mode
(link below).
I assume (I know), but am not sure that I will be able to load Linux on that
laptop -- can anyone tell me for sure?
PS: I'd also want to expand the RAM and I have to find out if I can do that.
