    Pros

    • Low price
    • Distinguishable design signature (in a good way)
    • Great touchpad and keyboard performance
    • No throttling of the GPU, nor the CPU under heavy load
    • The frequency of the emitted light is really high and it is highly unlikely that the user will feel discomfort

    Cons

    • A bit lower battery life than expected
    • A small design flaw with the silicone leg makes the notebook unstable on an even surface
    • A bit heavy (2.4 kg)
