Suits office workers and students needing a light

This laptop suits office workers and students who need a light 15.6-inch device for documents, web browsing and video calls. The integrated AMD Radeon graphics and 8 GB of soldered DDR4 memory limit its appeal for gamers, video editors or anyone who expects to upgrade the RAM later. Buyers who want more storage or a dedicated GPU should look at something else.

Check your peripheral connectors and power needs

Before ordering, verify that your external monitors use HDMI and that your USB accessories work with USB 3.2 Type-C or standard Type-A ports. The 45 W power supply and 41 Whr battery are sized for typical productivity workloads, so confirm they match your mobility requirements. The 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 modules handle current wireless standards.

Questions about this item

What type of RAM module do I need if I want to add more memory to the 8GB DDR4 already installed?

The laptop uses DDR4 SO-DIMM modules running at the speed of the factory 8GB stick; match that specification for any upgrade.

Can I run a second monitor from the HDMI port while keeping the 15.6" 1920x1080 60Hz panel active?

Yes, the HDMI output supports an external display alongside the built-in 15.6 inch IPS Full HD screen.

How do I confirm the 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD is recognised and set as the boot drive after first power-on?

Open Windows Settings, go to System then Storage, and verify the 256GB drive appears as the C: boot volume.
