*Edit*I'm just editing this to lend a bit of balance to the review. As another reviewer says, the fingerprint recognition is very inconsistent and really doesn't work terribly well. I probably just need to add additional versions of the same finger to cover all angles, but honestly, it's a weakness of the machine and a touch frustrating.Secondly, another reviewer mentioned glitchiness. Again, I did have a period where the screen of the laptop would kind of freeze and a fuzzy mess of coloured dots would appear instead of the wallpaper and desktop view for several seconds. It wasn't a total freeze and the external monitors continued fine. I thought this was perhaps caused by a substandard cable to one of my external monitors, but I am starting to think that this is now not the case. Regardless, there have been a few windows updates since and it seems to have cured it, so it was likely a driver or OS issue - certainly not hardware.----I only gave 4 stars for battery life because it is nowhere near the advertised 18 hours. It is, however, solidly between 6 and 8 hours of heavy work. So I'm definitely 4-star happy in that respect.I applied an anti-glare cover from the outset before even booting this thing up for the first time, as this was the only aspect putting me off. I ended up with a few small bubbles on the far side and one or two specs of dust, but ultimately, I'm really pleased as there is no glare at all. The screen itself is fab, sitting nicely between FHD and 4K - it genuinely is stunning.It is super lightweight, which I initially thought would be a "meh" feature. I've grown to love this though. It makes it eminently wieldy. The size was a big surprise, it more or less matches the footprint of the Dell 15 incher it is replacing, but with a bigger screen. It's way lighter and therefore more portable too.It's seriously quiet. I've never noticed the fan once in the couple of months I've been using it (and I use it day in, day out for work). It powers an external 32-inch 4k monitor and 24-inch HD monitor absolutely fine.The ports included are a big selling point in this day and age. It genuinely is handy to have a built-in HDMI and 2 old-school USBs. The newer USBs both charge the laptop and can do whatever newer USBs can do (which is quite a wide variety of things).The wi-fi 6 was another surprise. The difference between my 5GHz and 2.4GHz frequency network is now almost double in terms of speed. There was no difference with my old laptop. This means I've gone from around 20 Mbps to close to 40 Mbps. I'm therefore not at all bothered by the lack of ethernet port, although with a machine this size, it wouldn't have hurt to include one if I want to get really petty.I'm yet to use the micro-SD port, but fully intend to for a backup drive. Probably on my Prime Day purchase list.I like the keyboard plastic/rubber dust cover. It remains a permanent feature now, even when typing on it. I tend to use an external keyboard most of the time for work, however.The size of the screen is most definitely one of my favourite aspects of this machine. I don't get this obsession with going small to 13 inches, it makes no sense to me at all.The bottom line is that I really love everything about this laptop, and just when I felt I couldn't get more satisfied, LP sent me free gifts of a Herschel laptop backpack and some LG tone earbuds. Thank you very much! (I had to register by a certain date)The cherry on the top was that I bought this during the Easter sales for 1300 - 250 quid off. I genuinely feel that that is good value for money for a high-end product that is unique in the fact that it is a highly portable 17-inch laptop. If they produced a 19-inch version, I'd probably buy that too, they are that good.

This review is being written after having a few days of use. I was gutted to be purchasing a new laptop as my old one, although 5 years old was a pretty good spec, with SSD, i7 processor and 12GB of RAM. It had a full size really comfortable to use keyboard with full size separate number pad, DVD and full size SD card reader, and all this within a unit that was only 2kg in weight. However, it had a very bad day recently, made some very concerning noises and crashed, at least for an evening. So the decision was made to purchase a replacement, just in case it had a catastrophic event (I use the laptop for work, so very important not to get caught out). I knew that this would not be as good as my old one, so my expectations were not overly high, but it has still disappointed me so far. The keyboard feels really clunky, and you need to tap quite hard, causing finger / hand fatigue after a relatively short time. There is also a weird issue on the LHS of the keyboard, where the spacing between the shift key and the \ is less than on the rest of the keyboard, it's really easy to accidentally add a \ into your sentences when ever there is a need to use the shift key. Interestingly, the keyboard feels slightly less horrible when the supplied protector is placed over the top of it, so that will be a permanent requirement from here on in. The number pad is really not nice at all, it's a three column rather than 4 column layout, so although the numbers are all in the correct place, that other keys aren't, so anyone used to using a number pad for financial work will, like me, find it pretty terrible. The track pad is fine to use in theory, but it isn't centred under the main keyboard, so you are constantly out of line, which results in pressing the wrong part of it if, like me, you type without having to look at what you are doing all the time. I get that it may be more aesthetically pleasing to have it towards the centre of the unit, but function / use should be the primary concern. At start up, it isn't much faster than my old one...... It has been relatively fast when it comes to uploading all my files. It is very light, which overall was the main reason that I opted for it, so that is a definite positive. TBH I really wanted the 17", which would have dealt with the terrible number pad layout issue which in turn may have made the thing, as a whole, more acceptable, but just too expensive for me, and this one was available on Prime day at a much more affordable cost. So, if you are just surfing the web etc. then I have no doubt that this would be excellent for you, given the weight and battery life, but if you actually want to use it for real work, especially financials that require the use of a number pad, then I would avoid, and maybe try the 17" if you can afford it. The funny thing is that all the experts have said that the keyboard on this is far better than on the previous version – the old keyboard must have been truly terrible….. I will update / post again once it has had a bit more use.
