Pros and Cons

It has an amazing battery life, getting about 10 full hours of working in Chrome while streaming music before the battery is fully depleted.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8c X platform is backed by a healthy 8 gigs of RAM, which is fine for working in Chrome, streaming media, and light editing.

The price point is competitive with other laptops around the same size, making it a great value for those who prioritize portability.

Weaknesses

Performance-wise, it's rather limited compared with a lot of other laptops, especially around this sort of price points you might want to shop around if you want to do some proper video edits in game and more creative tasks.
It can't handle demanding games or serious video editing due to the basic integrated graphics Adreno 680 GPU.
The sim card needs to be kept connected to the phone at all times using a USB cable, which can be awkward especially when traveling.
The storage space is limited with around 200 gigs of free space, which might not be enough for those who need more storage capacity.
It's not ideal for those who want to do heavy multitasking or have demanding tasks due to the Geekbench 5 scores being lower than some other laptops.
