(may be dynamic eventually) There are still bezels, but they are not bad (hidden and grippable) CAMERA TEST The dual far field microphones 5MP front facing 1080p rear camera shoots 4k PEN has a haptic motor You can feel the haptics in some apps but not others. It is clearly something being added into Windows afterwards. Different handwriting fields for different apps Never just allowed to write in text boxes Haptics work in mouse navigation Haptics work in snips and handwriting Haptics DO NOT work in whiteboard… which is a shortcut on the pen Easily charged in the case Slim but easy to hold and comfortable Erase with the back in an intuitive fashion KEYBOARD (sound) INTERNALS Intel i7 11th gen G series chip is fast Geekbench score: 19498 (beats Galaxy Book Pro 360) 16GB RAM Windows 11 feels more like it was meant for a 2-in-1 and this is the most powerful and well executed 2-in-1 on the market. This is a laptop first, tablet second but I think that is a good thing. Not a ton of heat from my use, but the heat it does produce stays off your lap (nice!) thanks to this keyboard design It does have a fan! - very quiet from my experience CONFUSING CHOICES: Expensive - why sell without the keyboard cover?? Why bother having a nice camera on the back? Maybe to record your own lectures for students? But it is an awkward angle for any video (it makes sense for document scanning though) Please comment below with any questions you might have. Thank you all for watching! I appreciate you!
