What reviewers say
Reviewers praised the fast performance and smooth, bright display, while criticising the price. ComputerBild also found Face ID reliable and the battery sufficient for intensive use. Notebookcheck highlighted good speakers and battery endurance, but found the thin chassis flexible and the accessories expensive.
