Reviewer Verdict

Very impressive. Performance identical to other 6800U handhelds which is good — choice can be based on design, features, and price. AYA SPACE software is excellent and a differentiator. Comfortable to hold, not too heavy. Anti-fingerprint coating claim on glass front is false. 25 W TDP is the sweet spot; going to 33 W shows negligible improvement.
