- it's only i5
- it's too big
- it's not 4k
- it's 2020, laptops should be paper thin and 12" or $299
- it has no USB C
- it feels flimsy
- it doesn't have dedicated graphics
- it only has 512GB SSD and my grandma's computer has a 1TB HDD
- I've owned a LG fridge/TV/Phone before and it sucks, so I am not buying a laptop from them
- It's too expensive, I'll wait until second wave of covid and they will beg us to take it

I don't know what else I missed.

This is an awesome laptop for those that are looking for a workhorse of this size. From the old thread, this sums it up nicely:

This might work for me. I need a new laptop for work travel - documents, email, and browsing; no gaming - that is light and occasionally may be used to post process images. Might be a a bit big to stuff under the seat on an aircraft though. It has to be faster than my current 2014 vintage 8G i7-4700U

Depending on which review you read the screen gamut coverage is pretty good - about 95 to 99%.

Did not buy it feels like a $500 laptop not a almost 1.5k laptop. I get they wanted to make it light but it feels like a toy. Could have used some metal or aluminum to make it sturdier.

Proven Durability
The full metal body made from magnesium alloy used as aircraft material is lightweight and super-strong. Its durability is clarified by passing the demanding MIL-STD-810G military standard of durability and reliability that checks seven factors from shock and dust to extreme temperatures.

Just one with a nice screen (would not use touchscreen at all) and good performance. However my concern is that it’s an i5 and that I should just hold out until back to school for something with a Ryzen in it. Also doesn’t have USB-C which would be nice for a little future proofing (as much as one can with computers).

Don’t really need much space on an SSD and 16GB of RAM should be plenty to handle large spreadsheets.

Advice appreciated.
