That port door
Named the MagicFlip
Is a potential problem if it ever breaks down. The keyboard isn't backlit
And battery life could be better
SSD limits storage to 256GB
No ethernet
Has bloatware
And is a tad pricey
Bland design
Annoying connectivity
Average display

thin and light body, decent trackpad, good performances and fast SSD, runs fairly cool
