Pros
Pro Quality Ultra HD screen
The Ultra HD screen is attractive. On it you can experience precise color reproduction with 100% of sRGB covered color space. It is an anti-glare matte display which allows the laptop to be used outdoors during daylight, even though it has a rather low brightness of 270 nits. Thus it can be an adequate display for digital artists who need to make various adjustments on-the-fly.
Pro Performs the best in specialized tasks
Workstation computers are made to run specific intensive tasks which require powerful hardware. To achieve the best results they are equipped with components that are powerful and are specifically optimized for certain applications, like AutoCAD or 3D Max. Along with its potent processing units, it also has a very large RAM with 64GBs to allow for very large projects to be run.
This laptop spans the middle range of workstations in terms of performance. On the SPECviewperf 12 benchmark application it showed a score of 42 frames per second during its 3D Max testing.
Cons
Con Several things missing from the base model
The base model is quite cheap but is also missing numerous components. Each additional component requires an extra cost which, when summed, can raise the price considerably. The additional features range from something as basic as a webcam, a Thunderbolt 3 port, and a backlit keyboard to something more advanced, like a Smartcard reader or a fingertip reader.
