That is crazy, but I would give up some nits for more battery life. Can't use it unless it stays on unless you are okay being tethered to a power source. Still a reasonable price for the power of you are okay with these limits.
Yes, It's integrated into the power button.

I just received mine. Condition is good, but dang you're right about that pentile display. Pixels just aren't as sharp as they could be. I really didn't think I'd notice on a 15.6" display, but texts have a "shimmer" to them which can be distracting. Will need to tweak and test battery life to see if I can live with this laptop. I will say I do like the build quality (but it's a fingerprint magnet) and it's been whisper quiet. Will update with any other findings.
b) glossy (reflective with annoying distractions) screen Vs. preferred matter zero glare screen.
For these reasons only, I'm out.
The keyboard is good, but would rather have no 10 key and instead enlarged basic keys. Build quality, speaker quality, and thermals are all really good. I ran cinebench r23 and got in the 13k range and the fans were barely humming. Also, played some Forza at 1080p highish settings and it ran well enough.
I was on the fence about this initially, but it's won me over. I only needed a lil bit of juice when I can't use my primary PC and this fits the bill nicely. Also, the OLED screen is great for media consumption and the speakers again are really nice.
