What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the battery life is exceptional, and praise the light, sturdy build, excellent keyboard and good choice of ports. PCWorld found performance trails rivals and the price a little high, PCMag found the screen not the sharpest, and TechRadar notes that some software may not run well on Arm and that memory and storage can't be upgraded.
