And it costs more than Keithley 6500 and Keysight 34460A...

I think 40k points is probably related to displaying plots.

I've been at the company's booth a couple of years ago. I had only a glance at their equipment, so no real experience, but it felt cool. They integrate their equipment right into the bench. The UI is also quite interesting: touch sensors, touch screen. I wish they had more affordable prices.

No, it is a 40000 count meter. And you are not wrong, it is cool, but Uni-T UT181 is better meter.
Hard pass....

I hope they fixed the cooling fan design howling and wailing like a banshee lol.

Speaking of cooling fans,  I just finished repairing a "for parts" electronic load, an acdc brand EL300.   I couldn't believe how quiet the fan was, especially considering how much air it pumps.  Looking at the well made, cast aluminum, heavy, and smooth running fan, it would probably cost more today than the entire budget for a modern electronic device!

Idk, it shows here "-0.00002" at 1000V range: https://youtu.be/kVYaTmI3Qg0?t=69 . Accuracy specification is only 0.08%+5digits, which I think is quite low.

It does data logging, but I can't even display it on the screen  >:( Heck I can't even figure out how to save it to USB...
On the plus side, you can display voltage and current at the same time.

Thanks for answering the question I wanted an answer to but didn't ask. I didn't want to be a pain in the rump and ask questions about a product you're not supposed to talk about.
It's very disappointing it doesn't have the cool trend plot feature, but at least it has a data logger.

Open to opinions from anyone on this question.... If you could have only one bench meter for your lab would you go for the new GW Instek with the color display (seems to be loaded) or this Keysight DMM?
I have it narrowed down to these 2, but I do also like the new Hantek clone of the Keysight bench meter. I'm just a serious hobbyist and very poor so whatever I buy needs to last me 10 years.
Suggestions?
