They added a hopscotch feature to the touchpad?
1. soldered ram is the con? really? its a god damn 1kg machine. you need another standards.
2. you say 286 nits is fine and the display is MUCH better than 500+ nits from the competitors, because colors and contrast are better? 89% display rating for 286 nits and 55ms gtg? how ridiculous is that?
3. gaming performance 66%. but fps is way below average "subnotebook" and below average hd620. assuming that "subnotebook" class is light&thin with igpu only, now about the new vega? or even ice lake igpu?
(ok lets check this out...matebook with the old vega has +128% fps, +67% and +57% in dota 2. but your "gaming performance" rating says 60/78=76 for the matebook and 51/78=66 for this asus.
how does this rating even make sense?
4. noise 97%. pretty close to 100% from the passively cooled huh. so, under load, 3 times more noise than the environement or the same noise are nealy equal. noise=3 times more noise. literally that.
your rating system is quite complex, i know. but if someone needs advice on what to buy, the worst thing they can do is follow your ratings.
..
in case someone is interested in comparing integrated graphics, which are pretty close in "gaming performance" rating.

pick vega, iris and hd620, press "restrict".
Is there a 32gb version?
Can you run a ram drive on the 2nd ssd bay?
does it come with iris graphics too?
are the keyboard keys similar push down as the sony vaio series which I really liked the keyboard.
