Faster than ever ; Same long-lasting battery ; SD card slot ; Great range of prices

Still poor webcam position ; No Windows Hello

5.7 million pixel display ; Aluminium and carbon fibre build ; Comfortable keyboard and trackpad ; Good battery life

No support for Windows Hello ; Introductory models do not support touch ; SD card pops out
