The screen is beautiful, 1600p with great colors and brightness
Dual nvme storage allows for good performance and fast loading times
The keyboard is good, better than a Macbook according to the reviewer
The CPU performance may not be as good as thicker laptops, but it's still sufficient for tasks like 4K multistream video editing

Weaknesses

The CPU performance is not as good as thicker gaming laptops or Ultrabooks that can allocate more watts to the CPU
The laptop may be too expensive for some budgets, being a premium product with a high price tag
The reviewer mentions that 16 GB of RAM might be insufficient for tasks like 4K editing and recommends upgrading to 32 GB
The laptop's wattage is limited to 65 Watts, which affects its CPU performance
The reviewer notes that the laptop may not be suitable for heavy gaming or demanding tasks

The price of the laptop is $1099, which may be steep for some budgets.
There are no further details on the specs of the K300 gaming keyboard or the updated Why 25 gaming monitor.
The keystrokes on the true strike keyboard have been changed to a 'little bit different' feel, which may take getting used to.
