robust aluminum case; easily maintainable; replaceable keyboard; decent connectivity; supports up to 32 GB of RAM; pleasant feeling when typing; excellent touchpad; only IPS panels with up to 400 nits; low temperatures and noise emissions; decent speakers; three-year warranty
comparatively large and heavy; below average battery life; no SD card reader; poor HP point stick; unusual keyboard layout with dedicated communication function keys

Solid performance; Great looking; sleek new design; Decent speakers for a laptop; Great connectivity options; Lots of system configuration options; Excellent security features
Expensive as configured and tested; Middling battery Life
