The design is very angular, so if you love to cuddle your laptop you may have some time getting used to the sharp edges. Regardless of comfort, though, every single spec in this computer combines for a seamless productivity champion and a delightfully portable size and weight. The included laptop sleeve has a pen loop that no one talks about for the included stylus. This sleeve is a great inclusion that is not often seen provided by manufacturers and is a nice touch because it keeps me from worrying about my pristine baby monster power machine getting scratched up and dinged around in my backpack.
As someone obsessed with the effectiveness of a laptop to handle high expectations, The specs here are to die for. This laptop is not only sleek but packs a punch with the full package- an i7 processor, 16GB Ram, SSD storage (512GB no less)- all in one. I really have no complaints and think that at $1,400 it is a great value. It's hard to find all of those things for less - the only thing you may feel you're compromising is the resolution (though 1080x1920 is more than pleasing at this size and this doesn't feel like a compromise to me), graphics/refresh rate (this guy packs only options of 40 or 60 Hz), and screen size - but these things you won't miss, even if you strive for the perfect investment, like me, if you are getting this laptop not to handle gaming but productive studying or work with 9 different windows for your 9 classes or clients, etc, each with their own four or five tabs open, all organized so that you get your 7 million tasks done on time. I would suggest this laptop to anyone from a college student double majoring in some heavy study areas to CEOs. Honestly, it's that pretty and powerful.
For someone also looking for smooth sound while working hard, the B&O speakers and companion app do not disappoint, meeting my expectations and giving enough casual customizability that I can adjust my music or podcasts to my own desired sound. It's not super extensive, but it does impress.
To sum up, if you're on the fence about this laptop, review the specs one more time and think about why you're getting it - productivity and portability are good reasons in my opinion - and then go for it if it stirs your cup of tea! For gaming, look elsewhere for an NVIDIA chip and higher Hz refresh rate. For light use, cheaper laptops can definitely do.
But that's just my two cents. Happy overthinking laptop purchases!! Good luck (and I promise this laptop is a good choice!)
