Ridiculously lightweight, as light or lighter than 13" Spectre. Screen size and even more importantly aspect ratio is the best thing - it's similar to old 4:3, which give much vertical real estate, making it much more enjoyable to use (other manufacturers are finally catching onto this trend to go more vertical).
The bad: ram isn't upgradable without voiding warranty, and no dedicated graphics card. Also, not a touch screen, but I rarely use that functionality on my 2 in 1 laptop now anyways. Also, the alloy used for the casing isn't very robust (which is how they get it so light) - so if you beat the crap out of your laptop's this might not be the one for you. If you treat your stuff well, won't be an issue. I travel with mine frequently, just keep it in a neoprene sleeve in my backpack
Very fast, doesn't get loud at all (quieter than every other laptop I have), and a joy to use day to day. Numpad is awesome to have, looks like this year they added a second USB-C/thunderbolt port, making it even better. Can't say enough good things about it

The fingerprint recognition gets flaky for me every once in a while, but overall it's been a solid computer.
You know! I tried the same Iris graphics on a 17" Inspiron. It was't awful but I need a little better gaming performance to make me content. An AMD chip should fix that. For an extra pound the current Inspiron 17" 7000 has a gorgeous 3:2 QHD touchscreen. I think it craps all over the Gram and I have loved the Gram series since its introduction.
