Pros

Responsive touchpad, Thunderbolt 3, and Wi-Fi 6 support
Takes up to 64GB of DDR4 memory and has two M.2 slots
The display is PWM-free above 25% brightness (and the frequency of the flickers is high-enough below that) (Sharp LQ156M1JW03)
240Hz refresh rate and quick pixel response times (Sharp LQ156M1JW03)
95% sRGB coverage and great color accuracy + a lot of customization options with the included software (Sharp LQ156M1JW03)
Capable hardware inside of a thin, relatively light, and well-built chassis

Cons

Lacks an SD card reader
The laptop gets pretty hot on the outside during gaming
The keyboard is a bit underwhelming, despite its Per-Key RGB backlight
