Great idea, poor implementation. Unreliable.

I really wish I could recommend this laptop as I am bummed out about having to return it after investing a great deal of time researching which to get, but this model didn't have many reviews at the time for me to rely on. The 4k screen is beautiful (although it could be a bit brighter) and the 2 in 1 touchscreen feature is fun and cool, but neither matter when the hardware was thoughtlessly placed. The first issue for me was the laptop froze while watching youtube. No big deal, I restarted. It happened again a few days later, and I'm not sure why since a quad core 16gb processor with a dedicated graphics card should be able to handle YouTube. For video editing and gaming experience, I didn't have issues aside from how hot the laptop got, I was a little concerned but dealt with it. The fans kick in loudly as expected with tasks requiring power, and it stays idle with an occassional boost otherwise. I would have endured these issues had it not been for the screen defect randomly appearing on my 9th day of having the laptop. A slight black bar showed up in the top right corner and after looking it up on online forums, it seemed to have happened with other users too and even their exchanged models after a few weeks of use. So, even though this laptop is relatively beautiful and sleek and fun to use, it was glitchy and the build had minor imperfections(hinges uneven, bottom and one corner were not seamlessly joined, protruding lip when closed) that made it clear this wasn't a macbook, which is fine as that alternstive would cost more, but it still should not have at this price point. I am disappointed and frustrated by this experience of a laptop that *could* be great. Overall, I would recommend waiting for the next version of this laptop so all the kinks are worked out, keeping an eye out on other reviews and getting another laptop, or buying the lower priced version of the 720 if you don't need 4k and the power. I really really wanted this laptop to last me a few years and am disappointed in having to return it and had so many issues at this price point that can only be blamed on poor quality control/design implementation. Oh and no pen was included, just an empty pen box.
