The device features a sleek and modern design in Cool Silver. Weighing 1.60 kg Just (with the battery), you can easily carry it in your bag all day.

Comfortable screen with productivity dimensions (14.0-inch WUXGA)

The laptop comes with a 14-inch screen with a resolution of WUXGA (1920 x 1200), and features a 16:10 aspect ratio that gives you excellent additional vertical workspace for reading documents and browsing the web. The screen features an anti-glare coating, wide viewing angles (IPS-level), and has received a certification from TÜV Rheinland to protect the eyes from strain during prolonged use.

The laptop comes with integrated RAM of 8GB DDR5, and provides an additional SO-DIMM slot for future memory upgrades, along with a fast storage drive of 512GB PCIe 4.0 SSD.

Smart features for user comfort (NumberPad & Type-C PD)

The device also includes integrated ports, including a Type-C port that supports Power Delivery for charging the device with the included 68-watt charger, and an HD camera equipped with a privacy shutter.

Who is this laptop for?
