The large 16-in display provides an excellent viewing experience with a maximum brightness of 509 nits.
The keyboard offers long key traveling clicky feedback, making it great for typing.
The laptop has good upgradeability options, including two SODIMM slots and one M.2 slot.

Weaknesses

The laptop's cooling system is not ideal, with a single heat pipe and fan that struggles to keep up with heavy loads.
The Core i7 processor doesn't score well in benchmarks, falling behind the Core i5 1254U-powered Dell Latitude 7530.
Upgrading to a more powerful CPU (i72 ATP model) is an option, but it's not clear if it would address the cooling issues.
