Windows 11 Home and an Office 2024 license ship pre-installed.

Ports and wireless limits

External display output runs through a single HDMI 2.1 connection. Wired networking uses one Ethernet jack. USB connectivity includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports. Audio is handled by separate mic-in and headphone-out jacks. Wireless relies on Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3; no SD card reader is fitted.

Check your workflow needs

The 45% NTSC colour gamut suits gaming but falls short of wide-gamut creative work. Only 16GB of memory is installed; verify whether your applications need more before ordering. The 720p webcam covers basic calls. A Kensington lock slot and four-zone RGB keyboard are present. Dimensions are 14.13 x 10.2 x .98 inches at 4.96 pounds.
