Pros

new lid design like Helix, i in ThinkPad lit up red
lid opens flat
RapidCharge

Cons

1600x900 screen - not FHD. with new models with 2560, 3200 HiDPI panels, looks very weak
special small form factor SSD, much slower than now available PCI-e SSD
special sealed battery - may overcharge by 10%, dangerous?
battery has no connect standby
matt LCD is great, but protective coating some times cause scattering (some people remove it, voids warranty?)
heavy - 3.4 lb. vs non-touch 2.99 lb.about a pound heavier than Sony's flagship ultrabook
top heavy, can tip over if poke too hard on touch screen
fan gets loud
