  It annoys me that makers of these "ultrabooks" like MSI and Asus still make you travel with a powerbrick instead of having usb c PD.

  Do note that this model only uses on board gfx; there are versions with mx150 or gtx1050 if you are so inclined. The mx150 version can be had for just under $1200

    The version with mx150 looks good

  I got a refurb Lenovo 2 months ago with almostly exactly the same spec as this, off Graysonline ebay for $560. So, yeah.. no deal.

    The main advantage of this is the weight (1.2kg) and screen (98+% sRGB). Need to compare like to like. This is competing against the ThinkPad x range.

  Mine is Lenovo Ideapad 320, Full HD IPS and 1.2KG. These spec are worth about $750-800 new I'd say.

  Just a major caveat with this laptop — the PS42 is limited to single-channel memory that can potentially reduce performance depending on the application.

  There's also no Thunderbolt 3 and even USB Type-C Gen 2, which is something I'd normally expect from a premium work laptop.

  However for a $1000 this is definitely cheaper than the competing Dell XPS 13, though it's build quality is a little inferior.
