If you've updated to the latest bios and you're happy with the machine then keep it

this is a very random question. why do you feel the need to return it? and why did you bother getting it?

I also had a little buyers remorse immediately after buying my new intel laptop before I even received it because I didn't realise the mobile CPU's were also affected by the microcode issues. I did some research and I'm fairly confident now that because the laptop was brand new and the bios was updated straight away that it's got the best chance possible of surviving long term.

I normally buy used hardware for the most part but I wouldn't buy a used intel 13th/14th gen laptop if it was purchased before the microcode update.

Which is great but I'd be just be a bit wary that the degredation has already started due to the voltage spikes pre update.
