Pros

  • Neat and refreshing design with impeccable build quality
  • Configurable LED keyboard backlight with various zones and mechanical keys for gaming
  • Effective cooling system - the fans are seperately configurable
  • Supports two M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSDs (RAID 0 is also possible)
  • Excellent image quality (high contrast, brightness, sRGB coverage and optimal native color temperature)
  • No PWM across all brightness levels
  • Convenient port placement
  • Huge 90Wh battery
  • Full range of ports including HDMI 2.0, DP, SPDIF, USB 3.1 Type-C and Thunderbolt support

Cons

  • Unsatisfying touchpad performance
  • No G-Sync support for the built-in display
  • The fans are a bit on the noisy side
  • No switchable graphics
  • Heavier than the competition (4.366 kg)
