4. Long Battery Life on-the-Go

For moderate usage, it can last 10 hours during the day. Fast charging gives you a bit of juice back in just a few minutes of rest.

Cons

1. Average Display Brightness

Full HD touch screen is sharp and crisp but would, cringe-worthy, fall short in bright daylight or bright indoor condition. Color gamut is another problem; only 45% NTSC as per definition.

2. Extremely Difficult to Upgrade

Some would have wanted at least to have options to solder RAM and storage to motherboard-these are soldered to the motherboard. But for moderately experienced average users, they wouldn’t care at all. Some will be convinced by the future upgrade’s modularity.
