Processor: It is equipped with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U Mobile Processor. This is an Octa-Core (8-core, 16-thread) CPU from AMD's Ryzen 5000 series, offering excellent performance for demanding multitasking, productivity, and even light content creation, making it one of the most powerful processors available in a convertible of this size at the time of release.
Graphics: It uses Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics, which is powerful enough to handle high-definition video, photo editing, and casual gaming well above the performance of standard integrated graphics.
Display: It features a 14-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) LED-backlit glossy IPS-level touch display. The touch screen and its 360-degree hinge are the core features, allowing for pen input (stylus often included) for drawing and note-taking.
Memory and Storage:
RAM: It typically comes with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM. A key feature of this model is the memory configuration, often including 4 GB soldered on board and one accessible SO-DIMM slot populated with a 4 GB stick, making it potentially upgradeable up to 12 GB or 16 GB total (depending on the maximum supported capacity of the specific motherboard).
Storage: It includes a fast 512 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD, which ensures quick boot times and rapid application loading.
Design and Portability: It has a thin and lightweight design, weighing approximately 1.5 kg. The body has a premium feel, and the hinge is tested for durability. It also features a backlit keyboard and often includes a fingerprint sensor for secure login.
Operating System: It originally came pre-installed with Windows 10 Home. Since its release was around 2021, it is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 11.
Connectivity and Ports: It offers a comprehensive port selection, typically including:
1x USB 2.0 Type-A
1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
