Highest score first · all converted to 0–100- 80Trusted Reviews
A stylish, powerful laptop with a gorgeous OLED screen and very fast charging, but mediocre battery life, a limited port selection and divisive keyboard and trackpad keep it from being best in class.

A gorgeous, capable ultraportable the reviewer likes but would not buy because of irritating touch keys and touchpad, weak battery and few ports.

Stylish with a lovely OLED screen, quad speakers and strong, cool performance, but the OLED model's battery life is poor.
