High-performance laptop

I am purchasing a new laptop for my working, I start working from home already for several months.
My old 2014 mid MacBook Pro is too old and screen size too small for working from home.
Yes, I switched from MacBook pro to LG Ultra PC.
First of all, this is a beautiful and light machine, and I feel lighter than my MacBook Pro. The keyboard is sturdy and well spaced with just enough travel on the buttons, and the trackpad is big and enough for my work.
But, G and H keys are not at the center of the trackpad, I will need to shift my hand before typing. The screen has a 2K display with beautiful color. It is not a 4K screen, but this panel is plenty sharp and bursting with color.
This laptop has 2 USB 3.1 Type-A, 1 USB 3.1 Type-C, and an ethernet port. It is enough for most office cases. The only drawback is missing thunderbolt 3, and it has Nvidia GPU build-in, you may not need it...but, with thunderbolt 3, you can transfer files faster.
While watch YouTube or movies, the speaker is not as good as some gaming. But, to be fair, with this thin laptop, you can't compare the listening experience with gaming laptops. LG did build in DTS Headphone this improved audio quality through the headphone.
It has an HDMI port and build-in Nvidia 1650 GPU (with Intel GPU), I can play 4K and 8K Youtube at the same time. The Intel® Core i7-10510U processor is the latest 10th Intel CPU, it uses less power to deliver better performance. In my work, I need to open more than 25 Chrome pages, check email, and streaming Youtube videos in the background. I had no problem hopping between tab or programs. 16GB RAM is enough for most office use cases. Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 is another reason I chose this laptop The WiFi 6 is faster, can deal with greater device density, and uses less energy than WiFi 5. If you are using the laptop for the office use case, put WiFi 6 to a must-have option on your list.
This is a unique laptop on the market, you can upgrade RAM and SSD if you need it. The 72Wh battery capacity should enough for whole day usage if you just check email, browse a webpage, or simple office work. If you ask me to list done the drawback, I would say, Power adapter is big. It has a built-in nVidia GPU, and power adapter must deliver enough power. We can't avoid it.
