I have only had this laptop for a couple of days now but I am very happy with it so far! I bought this as a "consolidation" laptop, so to speak. I'm a tech geek and software developer so I've gone through MacBooks, other Lenovo computers, Surface Pros, and so forth. This laptop appealed to me on three main fronts:
1) It features a 15 inch screen.
2) It converts into tablet mode and has a touch screen which makes testing Xamarin apps easier I find.
3) It has a discrete graphics unit.
2) It converts into tablet mode and has a touch screen which makes testing Xamarin apps easier I find.
3) It has a discrete graphics unit.
This laptop really has come through on all those aspects. The discrete GPU is nice because I can play games at 1080p on it and it helps with Photoshop. Plus having the Nvidia GPU is nice for CUDA development. The touch screen seems pretty responsive and the actual screen itself is gorgeous. I was *very* worried that I wouldn't like the 1080p screen after having gotten used to the "retina" displays of other companies, but I think the vibrancy of color makes up for the lack of pixels in this case. Finally, after using 12 inch screens for awhile, I'm enjoying going back to the 15 inch screen.
Windows Hello and the fingerprint sensor work really well. It is worth mentioning that this laptop does have Kaby Lake so really it is on the bleeding edge of Intel processors.
The only downside I feel is that the shift button on the right side is poorly designed (others have commented on this as well). I also personally am not a big fan of the power button on the side and I do wish USB-C was included in some capacity. Those are pretty minor gripes realistically though.
Overall I am very satisfied with this laptop and I think it suits developers really well. It's not a fortune so you won't break the bank, but it is powerful enough that you can do any work on it, and play games as well!

I would recommend this to a friend!
