Price dropped $50 probably cause prices on the competition keep dropping.

Upsides are 2 lb metal chassis and nice 16:10 screen.
Downsides are reportedly wobbly screen when typing, slow refresh poor for gaming and some say loud while gaming or heavy usage.

I think the same chassis as the Schenker Vision 14. Take a gander what they stuff in there -- if you are willing to pay big bucks for it.

this is pretty decent laptop. I have the i7 one. but the i5 is also real fine. Don't know why not more people are into it.

You are not gonna find much anything else that has all of this:

2lb weight
i5-1135G7
Two sodimm slots (one already occupied by a single 16GB ram, just add another 16GB to get to 32GB or go all the way to 64GB)
one TB4, one usb-c with PD and DP, one HDMI 2.0. (Basically you can connect THREE 4K 60hz monitors to it without needing a dock!)
Two NVME slots (one being gen 4!)
Backlit keys


Seriously, I am not sure why this is not front page! The price is actually very reasonable!

So the i5 is not that important? I am an artist and photographer I would love to run Adobe side by side with no issues. What about the color or screen? Do you have this device and if so what do you use it for? I really need help picking a computer, thanks in advance

If you want a portable less than 5 lb laptop with as much cpu and igpu power as possible, these intel cpu laptop is not what i recommend. I would recommend going with a ryzen 5500u or 5700u/5800u cpu like this one:

This HP laptop has two sodimm slots and one HDMI 2.0 and one usb-c with DP and PD so you can connect two 4K60hz monitors to it.


the i5 and even the i7 version of this xenia is more than fast enough for everyday use but they are definitely significantly slower than the ryzen 5500 and 5700/5800u cpu. This xenia laptop is for someone who prizes portability as one of the their higher priorities due to its being only 2lb but not having to compromised on expandability due to its sodimm slots and numerous ports.

All these laptops have not very bright screen, all in the 250-350 range. for any serious with photo and video, they need to be connected to an external monitor. i guess you could use the laptop screen but it would be very limited. Even those "creator" laptops that are bigger and heavier built like a gaming laptop is still limited with their screen.

The only neg is the non upgradable ram. So as long as you are ok with 16GB...

Refurbs of this on EBay for $599. Although I'd wait for it to drop another $100 or so for this to be a slick deal
