Pokde.net

Emerald Green finish is refreshing in a sea of monochrome laptops
High screen-to-body ratio makes for a very small footprint for a 13.9" laptop
Light and compact
The PCIe NVMe storage here is really nippy
Excellent battery life
The screen here is a spectacular specimen of a display
Keyboard offers nice tactile feedback
Inclusion of USB-A port is a godsend

Runs hot and throttles hard
Surface temperatures are quite unacceptable
Trackpad's palm rejection is non-existent and doesn't work well with two fingers
Premium price tag is not doing it any favors
