First, its compact and light. It allows me to carry my full laptop in lots of situations where I otherwise would have just brought my Ipad Mini. It is also a 2-in-1 which means the screen can rotate completely around a give some table functionality although I am not the biggest fan of using many windows apps with the touchscreen. The hinges do feel very strong and have a nice smooth but stiff feel. The tent mode is also nice for watching movies with it on a table, although not much better than just having it open.
The screen quality is great. It can get plenty bright and is quite high resolution. In fact I personally don’t think it would be worth the higher battery drain of a 4K display. If you want to dock it to a larger high resolution display at home the 7th Gen Core i5 or i7 Processors works great for displaying 4K. I find I no lag or slow downs when I attach it to my 4K TV .

Using the computer feels great. The touch-pad is fairly large and has a texture that allows for smooth movements without being too rough. The keyboard keys have a nice feel and have just the right amount of give. The back-light is also great since it allows you work in any lighting. I do still often need a mouse and keyboard especially when docked to a monitor or TV. For this I just use a cheap Logitech mouse and Keyboard. I also need it because most 13 inch laptops not have the numeric keyboard and I often have to enter data quickly.
This is a great laptop certainly the best I have ever had. It has a wonderful premium look and the metal body makes it beautiful. It’s perfect for travel and the daily commute yet powerful enough to use for everything most people do.
