Really like her contents. Down to earth, straight forward.

Mention of the FW12:
Has this been posted before? The FW12 is on the cover of Germany’s Stiftung Warentest magazine this month (a nonprofit for product reviews). They have reviewed FW laptops on several occasions in the past, but I don’t think the previous models made it to front page. Grats!
Haven’t yet read the article, link to the issue: Stiftung Warentest 1/2026: Die neue Laptop-Liga: Von klassisch bis ausgefallen

The video has some mistakes, but good enough to get the message across.
TL;DR: Does the NIC speed make a difference? Yes. Cost effective? Not really.
