-sensible buttons/ shortcuts, power profile key, this should be standard across all laptops.
- reasonably svelt, you don't hate carrying it around.
-- keyboard font's not ugly.
--- NON-touch screen, it's a big deal, digitizers are extra reflective.
---- good ports, left and right.
----- smart heatsink design with a passive dissipation fin edge, this radiates heat better under fanless mode.
------ speakers not trash, upfire tweeter + downfire woofer.
------- solid milled aluminum key deck.
-------- trackpad size and position well thought out, no palm issues.
--------- grounded power supply, no sizzle
---------- upgradable wifi card
----------- g-helper, if it wasn't for g-helper, the default asus app is AWFUL.
Cons.
-6500 rpm fan, wicked screaming
- low sustained turbo in real world
-- mechanical touch pad
--- trash microphone quality
---- trash webcam quality, no webcam slider
----- liquid metal <guaranteed point of failure>
------ fan pulls air from below the keyboard deck, direct dust INTO the keys. INSANE, why?
------- bios, weird power gate issues.
-------- oled, bad HDR near black tuning (lifted dark scenes)
--------- screen is not as bad as touch screen, but still pretty reflective.
---------- will not survive drop, this thing will die.
----------- Industrial colors, not cool.
------------ Nvidia drivers cause banding
------------- Out of the box screen calibrations are USELESS.
-------------- Always warm.
