Excellent mid range performance
Decent value for a portable system
Intel Arc GPU performs well in its first showings
Decent value for a portable system
Intel Arc GPU performs well in its first showings

Arc GPU may get better as more developers integrate it and drivers update
Power brick is a bit chonky
