While it is spruced up with a new design and retains flagship specs like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, an adaptive 120Hz display, and a 5,000mAh battery, that price drop had to come from somewhere, and a couple of features took a step back....

However, when we tested them, they felt sluggish and laggy, particularly when using standard WIN32 apps such as the Chrome browser (they worked much better with Windows Store apps)....
