First impressions:
Positives:
-
Form factor is a delight, and it feels durable, the size is just perfect and it has the right amount of ‘chunk’ to make you feel like it can take some punishment
-
Keyboard feels brilliant actually for its size, a notable improvement on my pixelbook go 13
-
Given the reviews etc I’m pleasantly surprised by the brightness of the display, and I am not sensitive enough to the colours to find them bad at least thus far (It’s super early admittedly)
Negatives:
-
The fan is audible even during mild tasks, and seems to blow out quite warm air, the middle of the underneath is also warm - hoping I can reduce this with settings etc and when it’s done with updates and such which notoriously make laptops run hot at first in Windows
-
There’s something wrong with my trackpad, as if it’s not seated right, doesn’t click consistently, clicking up the top is nigh on impossible, but left to right doesn’t seem ‘even’ either, in fairness I’m a tap to click guy mostly but this still isn’t right (will look through support articles and contact support if I can’t resolve this)
-
One time pain only but needing to have a driver handy for the wifi for the setup of windows 11 is an annoyance
So far it’s better than I feared with some of the reviews, need to sort the trackpad and see how warm it is under casual use once all the updating/installing and silliness is done
