Be sure to bring an extra power strip for all your plugs and adaptors.

My laptop runs gpt-oss 120B with none of that. Don't know how long though. I suspect a couple of hours continuous.

You can make it as slow as you want. At half TDP it is silent.

Offer to make everyone espresso and macchiato with you GPU cooling module. They won't be able to hear the fan over the grinder and pump and milk foamer!

Nice laptop. I love my current laptop in general, but it is lagging in performance.
