" Exclusive ErgoLift hinge automatically tilts the backlit keyboard to the most comfortable typing position"

That's ironic since the most ergonomic way to tilt a keyboard is exactly opposite- the far end of the keyboard should be vertically lower and the end of the keyboard closer to you should be raised up to prevent carpel tunnel syndrome.

When the far end of the keyboard is raised, sure you can see the keyboard better but it places a greater strain on your wrists as they need to curve out more.

People see Core i7 for a semi-reasonable price and assume it must be good. The reality is, it's no more than 5-10% faster than an equivalent Core i5, and this 10th-gen Comet Lake CPU is way slower (and much hotter) than a Ryzen 4000. Between that and the soldered RAM, this is a bad deal.

Also, 3.2 lbs is on the heavy side for a 14-inch notebook. And the screen is spec'd as 250 nits and glossy even though it's not touch. And USB-C does not seem to support charging or display. What a fail for $700.

Could be different now, but when I was doing some research about ergonomic design 10 years ago, you could literally claim anything to be an "ergonomic" design in the ad.
