The editors didn't like
Only one data/charging port
No standard ports
No touchscreen
No TouchID
The single USB-C port will continue to be an inconvenience for many. The shallow keyboard isn't ideal for long-form typing. Other super-slim laptops manage to fit in more powerful processors
Reduced travel on keys makes fast typing harder and less satisfying
New keyboard may not be to all tastes
Single USBC port requires adaptors for current peripherals
Zero internal upgrade potential
Keyboard won't suit everyone
USBC adapters a necessity
Wirelessonly not always possible or desirable
Only one USB connection
So you can't have anything connected and charge at the same time
Anaemic GPU
We want more power
More USB-C extras needed
Can't be your main machine
No universal search
Runs sluggish at times
Expensive
People will miss ports
Noisy keyboard
Limited connections
Lack of ports can be very frustrating
Super-shallow keyboard
By no means a powerhouse
Poor processor performance
Can't handle most games
Keyboard becomes tiresome
Poor value
Not particularly powerful
No traditional USB ports
Single port for everything
So if on charge can't connect anything (such as a USB flash drive) without an expensive adapter
Very shallow key presses take a little getting used to
