## Key points

- Despite the high price, its performance trails even the base M5 MacBook Pro, which costs half as much.
- Battery life is inconsistent and often worse than other Panther Lake laptops and significantly trails MacBooks.
- The keyboard quality is notably poor, drawing unfavorable comparisons to Apple's infamous butterfly keyboard era.
- The laptop features discrete Nvidia graphics, giving it a gaming edge over MacBooks but not value for money.
