I have an older 2012 Gazelle Pro with a wide-gamut TN screen.
It's fast and quiet, the keyboard and touchpad are decent, and the screen is mostly good. I don't know about new ones, but that version is SUPER easy to clean out: remove one panel and the fan comes out letting you clean the heatsink. It doesn't collect dust really, but it was handy because replacing the thermal paste made it run quieter after the original stuff dried out.
The only issues I've ever had with it are that small amounts of dust got behind the display panel but in front of the backlight, leaving fuzzy outlines visible. It's probably not an issue for most people though because I've taken this laptop camping in the desert...
The other problem is the battery has degraded over time. Originally I got 5+ hours of battery life, but right now it lasts maybe 40 minutes. Replacements can be had relatively cheaply, but I just never got around to getting one.
