Interesting video.
- he was not happy with the USB port allocations (1 x usb-c and 2 x 
usb-a instead of vice-versa)
- he was unhappy with the Micro-SD slot
- the speakers are placed *really* badly
- he was not happy that the only available keyboard was UK, not even US.
- he thought it insane that the Intel IME was enabled in the bios.

There was more to the video of course, but those are the complaints that 
I remembered.  Apart from those issues he liked the beast a lot, and it 
could handle multiple distributions.
