What reviewers say
StorageReview and Laptop Mag both praised the sharp, colour-rich 4K picture, useful USB-C connections and adjustable stand for creative and office work. Laptop Mag wanted more brightness from its test sample. StorageReview found the anti-glare coating less effective with light coming from the side at home.
