The black aluminium-and-magnesium body weighs 3.23lb and measures 12.95 x 8.94 x 0.70 inches. Two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports, one HDMI output, one Thunderbolt 3 Type-C port, one USB 3.1 Type-C Gen1 port, a microSD reader and a combo audio jack handle peripherals without dongles. Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1 cover wired and wireless networking.

Questions about this item

Does the Thunderbolt 3 port support external GPUs or dual 4K displays?

The port is Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C and carries PCIe, DisplayPort and USB 3.1 signals, so it can drive compatible eGPU enclosures or two 4K monitors through a suitable dock.

How many SODIMM slots are free for a memory upgrade?

The 24 GB configuration uses 8 GB soldered to the board plus a 16 GB SODIMM in the single user-accessible slot, so no further SODIMM expansion is possible.

What is the exact driver installation order for a clean Windows reload?

Install the chipset driver first, then the Thunderbolt controller firmware, followed by graphics, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, fingerprint and audio drivers in that sequence to avoid missing Thunderbolt security keys.
