Reviewers Didn't Like

  • The 4K variant has poor battery life, no option for a Nvidia GeForce 1080 GPU
  • Expensive for components and build, GTX 1070 isn't powerful enough for gaming on the 4K screen
  • Comparatively heavy, no Optimus, high idle power consumption, DPC latencies, throttling on battery, loud under load
  • Noise, temperature, very noticeable screen bleeding, PWM flickering, dpc latencies, poor touchpad, complicated maintenance
  • Hefty chassis, Short battery life due to lowered battery capacity compared to the previous model, The lid is a little flexible due to the single-hinge design
  • Touchpad makes inferior impression, no USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C
