How do I use the AI features like Copilot+?

What is the display resolution and refresh rate?

Troubleshooting

Laptop will not power on

Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the laptop and a working power outlet. Try a different outlet. If the battery is completely depleted, it may take a few minutes of charging before the laptop responds.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection issues

Check if Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled in Windows settings. Restart the laptop. Update the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers via Device Manager or Windows Update. Ensure you are within range of your Wi-Fi router.

Screen is dim or displays incorrectly

Adjust screen brightness in Windows display settings. Ensure graphics drivers are up to date. Check display resolution settings to ensure it's set to the native 1920 x 1200.

Poor audio quality during calls or playback

Check the volume levels in Windows and ensure the correct audio output device is selected. Update audio drivers. Verify that the microphone privacy shutter is not obstructing the microphone.

System is slow or unresponsive

Close unnecessary applications. Restart the laptop. Check Task Manager for resource-intensive processes. Ensure Windows and all applications are updated. Consider running a virus scan.
