Good

trackpoint, 5 physics buttons trackpad
3 USB ports
removable battery
optional WiGig
light on AC adapter ring
physical indicator lights for disk access, battery, wireless
NFC

Bad

no Home, End keys, share with arrows keys
flinsy trackpad buttons, recess a little bit too much
no PCI-e SSD, only SATA, mSATA, M.2?
ctrl key acts funny
