Battery
This laptop’s battery life is above average as it lasts for at least 12 hours, having a higher battery life than the Dell XPS 15 7590, which is about 9 hours. A couple of things to do to make the battery last as long as it can are to make sure that the screen isn’t at its brightest, and to make sure that the RAM and CPU aren’t being pushed to their limits by running a lot of programs at once, especially programs that require more resources.
Ports/expandability
This assortment consists of a SD card reader, an audio/ microphone combo jack, and USB C ports. While it’s a simple assortment of ports, those ports provide fast charging for various devices as well as a fast file transferring speed. It also provides Bluetooth, which somewhat adds even more types of devices that the computer can be connected to, and is especially useful if there’s ever a chance the ports can’t function.
Build quality
It’s slightly heavy for a laptop as it weighs 4.5 Lbs., weighing more than the Asus Chromebook Flip C434, which weighs 3.3 Lbs. It has a slim design reminiscent of a Macbook Pro, and has a chassis made of aluminum to provide decent durability and protection. However, what makes it stand out is how it has Corning Gorilla Glass 6 as the material that protects the touch display from getting damaged too easily.

Value
It’s quite expensive, but it has various reasons for that: It has 3D surround sound provided by a quad speaker design, 16 GBs of RAM, and the screen with high quality protection from damage. It also made some improvements compared to the model from last year, with some of the aforementioned parts, the processor, and the solid state drive being of higher quality and/or providing more storage as well as fast performance.
