Cons

  • The 1920x1200 touchscreen is rated at 300 nits and 60Hz, and measured about 67% sRGB coverage in review testing
  • Memory is soldered LPDDR5X, so RAM cannot be upgraded later
  • Only one USB-A port and no card reader, and the speakers were criticized in review testing
  • Plastic bezel and palm rest, and the trackpad felt less smooth than some rivals in review testing
