What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the vivid OLED screen, light and thin build, capable performance and value. Both find battery life good, although it falls short of larger rivals. TechRadar likes the keyboard and desktop mode for work; T3 finds the basic keyboard less laptop-like and measured much lower brightness than Honor's peak claim.
