Pros
- Refreshing design for a gaming machine
- Decent overall build
- Excellent IPS panel with G-Sync support
- Powerful hardware in a relatively small form factor and size
- Supports PCIe NVMe SSDs
- Brings various connectivity options including mini DisplayPort and Thunderbolt 3 via USB Type-C
Cons
- Noticeable coil whine under load

- No integrated graphics and thus lowered battery endurance
- Somehow crippled GTX 1070 performance
