Questions about this item

What display interface and refresh rate does the 15.6 inch QHD panel use?

The built-in 15.6 inch QHD screen runs at 2560 x 1440 resolution with a 165Hz refresh rate, driven by the RTX 5070 laptop GPU over the internal eDP connection.

What are the physical dimensions and weight for a laptop bag or sleeve?

The chassis measures 14.13 x 10.31 x 0.99 inches and weighs 4.58 pounds, so a 15.6 inch laptop compartment with at least 1 inch depth is required.

How is Windows 11 and the Office 2024 licence activated after the engineer opens the seal for upgrades?

Windows 11 Home activates automatically on first internet connection; the Office 2024 licence key is supplied on a card inside the box and is redeemed through the Microsoft account sign-in during initial setup.
