- Materials, build quality, screen (but the screen must be carefully chosen), performance, expandable memory, good touchpad. Good built-in acoustics. It is charged via USB type C, but regular charging with an old-style cylindrical plug - this may seem like a minus to some, but in my opinion it is mechanically more reliable. There is a curtain on the camera. There is an Ethernet port (not in the next generation).
- Keyboard! It's been messed up compared to the old Elitebooks. The scroll lock, pause, insert keys have disappeared. F-keys via the Fn modifier (but you can do Fn lock), All the same rubber drop-down trackpoint pip.
