Big bezels

One of the sacrifices you make for the screen's angle flexibility are the big bezels.

Touchscreen

Touchscreens are rare in gaming laptops, and it's a nice perk. Because you can position the screen almost over the keyboard, the touchscreen can actually be positioned for maximum comfort.

Sturdy arms

The arms holding up the screen feel pretty well made.

A normal gaming laptop

You can also position the display to look and feel like a typical gaming laptop.

Cramped keyboard

Because the keyboard is squashed into a smaller space to make room for the touchpad/numeric keypad, some of the keys are in awkward positions and too small. The mechanical switches do have a nice feel, though.

Connections

On the left side there's a USB-A, separate mic and headphone jacks and a covered Xbox controller port.

Kiosk mode

Unlike a typical convertible, in kiosk mode the system's not lying on the keyboard. So if you connect to an external monitor, you can comfortably mirror your display for presentations or sharing.

Tablet

You can also use it in tablet mode, though at over 9 pounds it's not very portable.

Right side connections

Two USB-C ports (one supporting an external monitor connection), another USB-A and an Ethernet jack are on the right side.

Back connections

On the back are a full-size DisplayPort connection -- you can hook that up to a G-Sync monitor -- and an HDMI port.

Flip with both hands!

A sticker on the display cautions you to always rotate the display with two hands from the sides rather than a single hand on the top or bottom.

Big and bulky

The laptop itself weighs over 9 lbs./4.1kg, and the brick adds another 2.8 lbs./1.3kg.

Clamshell, too
