Pros

Good build quality
Great input devices
The display has high brightness and decent sRGB coverage for a TN panel
Outstanding battery life
Plenty of I/O, including 4GB LTE connectivity

Cons

Aggressive PWM (200 Hz) (our Health-Guard profile fixes that)
A bit hefty for a 14-incher
Pricier than the competition
The M.2 SSD obstructs the insertion of a 2.5-inch HDD/SSD and vice versa

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.
