Pros Fast and powerful, Touchscreen and optional stylus, thin and light, lots of onboard storageFast and powerful, touchscreen and stylus, reasonably pricedGood performance, super portableFast web browsing, sensitive touchscreen, great keyboard and trackpadLarge screen, nice typing experience, large trackpad
Cons ExpensiveLess onboard storage than the PixelbookCramped keyboard, small screenNo stylusHeavy, no tablet mode
Bottom Line High end performance with a correspondingly high price tagVersatile, high-performance machine that is the best choice for most usersGood if you want a tablet that offers a somewhat natural typing experience, but certainly not good as a full-time computerGreat, but not the best in its price rangeGreat for productivity and movie watching, but not for travelling
