Pros

Good input devices
MicroSD card slot and a fingerprint reader on board
Great battery life
Comfortable viewing angles and a good contrast ratio
Thin and light design

Cons

Covers only 52% of sRGB (BOE NV140FHM-N49) and has mediocre color accuracy
We've got some overheating issues, where the laptop switched itself off during gameplay
Uses aggressive PWM below 70 nits (our Health-Guard profile fixes the issue)
Not the best build quality out there

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
