65 out of 100 low confidence 5 reviews
The product receives mixed feedback from limited user input. While the SSD is upgradeable and the USB-C port connects directly to the GPU, there are unanswered concerns about heat and missing accessories. The lack of a 2.5" HDD slot is also a notable omission.

- Unanswered heat concerns
