My wife bought this model when it first came out. I'll echo all the complaints of this article. The thing she loves the most, and really impressed me, was the extremely high quality of the 4k display and how easy it was to draw and annotate on the laptop.
Most important: the reviewer didn't have same trouble as many other earlier adopters: Extremely high thermal temperatures and throttling.
Many people on Reddit, including my wife's model, were far too hot to be used. Typing on the keyboard was physically painful due to the heat. The heat also caused extreme throttling that made the laptop feel extremely sluggish for a high end model. After watching Netflix for 10 minutes it would become borderline nonresponsive because the CPU/GPU would throttle so much. This was with the fans sounding like something off of a plane.
She also tried using an external laptop cooler underneath the laptop. It didn't completely solve the throttling.
It's my understanding a firmware update essentially under-clocked the hardware to better adjust the thermal load.
