You'd probably want the 1440p monitor if you're not doing any productivity.

JJ is a member of the MB/GPU divisions of Asus. Not from the laptop division.
 
Anyways, my 2 cents regarding the matter: the iGPU is not enough for hybrid hardware decoding of h.265/HEVC encoded videos, especially at 4k. It would be kinda silly to have a laptop with a 4k display and not be able to efficiently play 4k videos. You should read this article regarding the matter:

It would also help with photo and video editing, which is probably one of the main selling points of this very portable workstation. It even has thunderbolt. If that doesn't scream Macbook Pro competitor, I don't know what does.

The main selling point of this is the fact that it's expandable, which this review doesn't even MENTION. Is this a hint for how bad the pump is has this feature been overlooked?

Thinkpads have always been like that, long before even the windows button was a thing. Take a look at one of the first thinkpads ever, the 360c from 1994:

The thing is a non-issue though. You can swap the CTRL and FN keys function in the BIOS.

Who the hell uses and complains about the touchpad on a Thinkpad when it has the godly trackpoint? Linus apparently.

Actually, the Samsung mobile division has had the option of changing their SoC for a while now. The exynos chips have had a 4G modem for while. They could've done it for the Galaxy S5 and Note 4. However, Samsung is not that vertically integrated as everyone says. I've read somewhere that the mobile division, the one who actually makes phones, does some market research before ordering any component, and if a competitor brand cand offer a better price/performance ratio than their own division, they go with their product. So it seems Qualcomm has offered a better deal than the Exynos division . They limited Exynos usage only to some limited markets to keep themselves in the game, you know, like a backup plan, which they now need, since Qualcomm has seemingly screwed up.
 
Personally, I'm not too fond of this decision. Exynos chips have had historically very little documentation and only seldom kernel source code releases. This means it's much harder to make custom ROMs for them and get rid of the awful touchwiz.

While skimming through SS's FB page I found this. However, I haven't found any press releases. I guess they treat it like an easter egg for their fans, for now:

The switches remind me a little of the romer-g switches from logitech. The keycaps also, in a bad way. Those ridges don't look too comfy. But at least it's low-profile, which is something new in this area.

Oh the click bait...
IMPORTANT STUFF THAT YOU SHOULD READ:
 
What most people tend to forget is that the x86 license that amd, Intel and VIA have is not transferable. In other words if AMD goes bankrupt and another company buys it, it will lose its x86 license and all abilities to sell x86 chips. If they want it back, they will have to renegociate with intel, and I doubt Intel will be reasonable. All the work on the new architecture that is supposed to be unveiled in 2016 that Jim Keller and co. have done will go to waste. Which is stupid. That's why I don't believe Qualcomm or any other company will buy out AMD in the next years.
 
Intel has AMD exactly where they want them: technologically they're so far behind that they can not compete without murdering their margins and legally they can't be accused of monopolizing the market because from the outside it seems that AMD keeps digging its own grave. As a bonus, from a buyer's perspective their CPU business is almost worthless due to the licensing agreements, so that they can not come back from the grave and provide some competition that the desktop market really needs.
