[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the overall build quality of the laptop. However, the haptic feedback from the trackpad is driving me crazy. Whenever i use two fingers to scroll, the trackpad will think i am "clicking" and vibrates...
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Laptop, even more amazing screen. Built in Dolby Atmos speaker system is a great feature, you can clearly notice the difference when watching videos and playing games.
This is an excellent, highly-portable laptop, with slick styling. It is very slim, quite light, and refreshingly minimal in its design. Personally, I don't care about the leather styling, and while it was less apparent than I was expecting I would still have preferred to have the option to get one without it.
My only issues so far have been getting used to a smaller keyboard and the screen glare, which is common with touchscreens. Personally, I would have preferred the option to not have a touchscreen, but that was not given, and it clearly wasn't a deal-breaker. The fact that the screen angle can be set up to 180 degrees with the keyboard is interesting, but I haven't found a use for that yet. Other than the glare, the image quality is excellent, with good brightness and vibrant colours. The aspect ratio is a bit different from my old one, but fits well with the portability and didn't take long to get used to. The keyboard, while somewhat compact, feels good, with little key noise but with enough travel and lip to be confident when touch typing. Sound quality out of the speakers has been both surprisingly good and surprisingly loud. Battery life has been decent, and I like that any of the USB-C ports can be used to charge it. The touchpad works well, although it can be tricky to hold-and-drag or right-click (without gestures) when using it on my lap. This is the first touchpad where I've found it valuable to learn more than the most basic touchpad gestures, and have been enjoying the mousing experience since having done so.
My use-case is home web/entertainment use with moderate app development and occasional, casual gaming, and the specs are solid for that. The most demanding task so far has been from-scratch compiling, and while it isn't blazing fast it certainly doesn't take too long: 15-45 seconds. I haven't put it through any tough paces with regards to gaming yet, but I expect that it will run those that I play (No Man's Sky and Minecraft, mostly) well enough for my purposes.
Overall, I rather enjoy this laptop, and am hoping that the extra outlay to get early access to 11th gen Intel processors will be worth it with regards to future-resistance. I'm slightly annoyed at how many of the components are soldered in place rather than upgradeable, but again it wasn't a deal-breaker.
