i quite like the folding mechanism, basically a step up from the acer multi hinge flipper. if only they would make one with a bigger battery and better cooling. relying on ULW intel cpu seems a bit much for something with passive cooling.

It's a 5W TDP chip, so its perfectly capable of being passively cooled.

I think it could have been more portable. It's too heavy at 3.2lbs. If you want it bigger and go 5lbs, then there's no point in going with a 2-in-1.

Interesting CPU. Not a fan of the leather at all. I'm sure that's durable enough to last maybe 6 months of real use.

Agree! Leather may look nice when new, but it stains easily, and also adds unnecessary weight.

If it's that PU "leather" that stuff is made out of these days, yeah, 6 months is optimistic.

But if it was legit saddle leather or something, it'd outlast the computer.

the video review says it is full grain leather no synthetics. i'd be curious what the casing looked like without the leather
