Lenovo LOQ 15AHP10 I just purchased for my son. Bought new in Australia and paid $1500

I just bought this yesterday for my 16 year old son. He is in year 11, doing subjects heavy in maths and science. His old laptop was 8 years old and falling. I had a budget of $1200, reluctantly, as I knew that DDR prices and storage prices had gone through the roof recently. Typically, I have spent $700-800 on laptops for my kids.
I walked into a local retailer and this was presented as a laptop that had been ordered and not collected or paid for. Price was $1,999 firm.
After some negotiation, I walked out with it for $1,500. Way more than I was comfortable spending but it seems to be a good deal, unless I am missing something?

I am obligated to not only ask that you switch to Linux (please do), but I also must suggest a distribution (Mint).
I don't make the rules.
I use Arch btw, so it's my job to say you should totally use Arch.
the hardest part of using Arch is the obligation to tell anyone that you use Arch. if you forget it won't boot anymore.
I use Nyarch, because I’m an arch user of exquisite taste, so it’s my job to say you should totally use Nyarch while I tip my fedora
Tips my fedora as a sign of respect, whilst secretly studying the blade.
I haven't used raw Arch, but I have been using Garuda for a while. I'd recommend this or CachyOS rather than pure Arch for someone not used to Linux, and especially a child.
He has to have windoze for school. No choice. My computer runs mint, my wife’s runs Ubuntu, and my other son runs Arch.
Praise be to our Lord and Saviour, Linus Torvalds!
I think you mean Manjaro
I heard CachyOS is the new hotness now. Mine is still running Mint though, because I like it and it just works.
