That's a thick laptop.

I don't really understand this form factor. It's heavy so it's inconvenient to carry, so it's basically a very portable desktop. But it has only 14" screen. This kind of laptops have usually 15-17" screens.

It's 1.7 Kg, 17 inch laptop with dGPU (and required cooling) are usually closer to 2.5-3 kg.

I personally wouldn't get this (I always go for 17 inch because I like larger screens), but it could make sense if you want a relatively smaller device with a dGPU.
