Mobile professionals needing legacy media

The built-in DVD+-RW burner suits users who still read or write optical discs. An SD card reader supports quick transfers from cameras and other devices. Buyers who require a touchscreen, higher-resolution display or discrete graphics should consider other platforms. The shared-memory Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday productivity but not demanding 3D workloads.

Quad-core processor with 3.4 GHz turbo

The i5-8250U delivers four cores and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.4 GHz, which determines how quickly the system processes multi-threaded tasks. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 RAM and the 500 GB NVMe boot drive keep the operating system and applications responsive. The additional 2 TB hard drive supplies bulk storage for large project files.
