Beautiful design but unreliable performance

The machine design is elegant, the video is sharp and clear, the computer is light, but the big problem with this computer is that it is very buggy, which makes it unreliable, when trying to get your work done. While the touchscreen always works reasonably well, you'll lose many hours of productive time if the trackpad fails, and of course it always fails at the worst possible moment. The keyboard illumination only works sporadically. It is not known when this will work or not. This makes the computer unreliable when it comes to getting the job done. But it looks beautiful. The letters and numbers typed on the keyboard are often difficult to read due to insufficient contrast with the color of the keys. That means sometimes you have to squint and turn your head at weird angles to make sure your fingers are in the right place, and it can slow you down. While it's possible to find workarounds for this machine's shortcomings, the flaws in its design, hardware, and software will sever the flow of your creativity. In general the thing looks nice; it is visually appealing. But its performance. Well, another story.
