Paid premium because of the great 3K display and aluminum chassis. Pretty quiet after BIOS and updates (don't forget to fully update your system from the factory). The keyboard is pretty good despite being multilingual. It's too early to judge the longevity of the chassis and hinges, but the initial impression is great. The cover doesn't collect all the smudges, but it collects some anyway, and those are pretty noticeable. Cooling is optimized fine, but I expect the fan to be clogged up pretty quickly because the vents are enormous, and the dust will start collecting there in no time. Gemini insists that I need a system with 32GB of RAM for my line of work, so I'm still testing and deciding if I want to keep it. Overall, I have a very pleasant impression of this product.
