The 14-inch screen size strikes a perfect balance between portability and usability.
The touchpad is super responsive and supports an active pen for taking notes or working on sketches.
The Intel Core i7-150u processor with integrated Iris XE graphics and 16 gigs of RAM provide impressive performance for everyday tasks.
Multitasking was impressively smooth, with zero lag even with multiple Chrome tabs open and Spotify streaming in the background.
The laptop charges quickly via the included 65W USBC charger, going from 0 to 80% in about an hour.

Weaknesses

Using the laptop in tablet mode is a bit awkward due to its size (14in) and weight (3.5 lbs), making it cumbersome to hold for long periods.
The touchscreen display struggles with direct sunlight, which may be an issue for those who always work or study outdoors.
Battery life was around 6 hours in real-world testing, which is respectable but not the best in its class.
Portability is slightly compromised due to the laptop's weight and size, making it less ideal for carrying around.
The speakers lack bass depth and may not provide an immersive audio experience.
There's no built-in webcam or microphone upgrade option, which might be a limitation for some users.
The keyboard keys can feel mushy at times, although they are backlit and have a nice tactile feel otherwise.
