Strengths

Weaknesses

The 1440p webcam struggles to deliver impressive video quality, even in well-lit rooms, with poor exposure and contrast levels.
The fans can get pretty loud when pushing the laptop to its limits, which may be a concern for those who plan to use it extensively.
Single-core performance has seen a slight dip compared to the previous generation, although multi-core performance remains strong.
The glossy finish on the OLED display can be distracting in bright environments and may cause headaches at times.
