Fast CPU and iGPU for the size category –
sleek aluminum chassis design,
respectable battery life,
USB4 support.
IPS display lacks full sRGB colors and high refresh rate,
mediocre 2 MP webcam resolution,
does not support M.2 2280 SSDs,
RAM not user-upgradeable,
fan tends to pulse.
Fast midrange convertible dragged down by a weak display – disappointed by color reproduction.
