Build quality and daily connectivity

Dark Ash Silver chassis measures 14.10 x 9.53 x 0.88 inches and weighs 3.8 lb, using a 45 W power supply with a 41 WHr three-cell battery. Ports include HDMI, USB 3.2 Type-C, SD card reader and a headphone/microphone combo jack alongside RJ-45 Ethernet. Wireless links use 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2, while an integrated webcam and trackpad handle input.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm that Windows 10 Home meets your software requirements, as the unit ships with this edition. The display is non-touch and fixed at 60 Hz, so touch or high-refresh workflows are not supported. Integrated AMD Radeon graphics limit 3D performance, and the memory is not user-expandable beyond the installed 64 GB.
