What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the display, slim build, speakers, long battery life and useful document tools, while finding the cameras weak. Tom's Guide finds the interface smooth and everyday gaming capable; TechRadar notices cramped quick settings and more limited demanding-game performance. Both see it as a good fit for streaming and everyday productivity.
