Pros
- Generally sturdy build
- Ligther than the competition by at least 1 kg
- Excellent IPS display with great properties like wide sRGB, high contrast, 120Hz refresh rate, G-Sync support, etc.
- The screen doesn't use PWM for regulating brightness
- Good cooling performance
- Keyboard with tactile and clicky feedback (only good for typing, though)
Cons
- Suboptimal choice of materials, cheap feel
- Shallow keyboard with no macro keys and unisolated arrow keys (not the best for gaming) and unsatisfactory touchpad
- Loud cooling fans
- Only one M.2 SSD slot while the competition comes with two
- Lacks USB-C Thunderbolt 3
- Short battery life
