    Pros

    • Neat design, rigid construction and excellent build quality
    • Good input devices - keyboard, tracpoint, trackpad
    • Outstanding battery life
    • The docking station accommodates second battery and various useful ports (full-sized HDMI, VGA, RJ-45 and two full-sized USB 3.0)

    • The screen has relatively high maximum brightness (for a notebook)

    Cons

    • PWM across all brightness levels with low frequency pulsation (210 Hz)
    • Reaches dangerously high temperatures at maximum load
