Good

4K
PCI-e 4x SSD (2.0 or 3.0?)
i7q
Thunderbolt 10 or 20Gbps?
touch screen?
one USB 3.0 with charger+
SD card (some info said incorrectly microSD)
power, dual color battery, drive activity lights (bad, it is on front base)
Ethernet, VGA adapters
carrying case
cable tie
triple packed shipping box - very nice box
16GB webstorage

Bad

4th gen chip
partition into 190GB C: 270GB D:
strange keyboard layout - PgUp PgDn horizontal above numpad instead of vertical (numberpad internal ones are vertical)
huge AC adapter
full charge capacity only 96% of design capacity, no (Lenovo) RapidCharge
like old nvidia Optimus, 960M only does 3D, everything else goes to HD 4600 - VLC can't play 4K, only using integrated.
F2 to go to BIOS, not F1
no boot order key like F11, F12?
bloatware
no 1TB SSD option
buttonless trackpad, no (Lenovo) Trackpoint
should charge 3 hours before use battery mode?
no docking station solution (like Lenovo OneLink)
screen doesn't go flat
glossy LCD only, no matte AntiGlare config
no active/wacom pen option (not important for non-hybrid clamshell)
forum users report - tint in yellow both internal & external
forum users report - speakers in bottom, weak
forum users report - no 4GB VRAM option in US
same as ROG G501? different color, similar to NX500?
