  • Excellent 16:10 aspect ratio screen

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your device, ensure you connect the included 65W AC adapter to a grounded power outlet. Upon first boot, follow the Windows 11 Pro setup prompts to configure your user profile and biometric login via the fingerprint reader.

Compatibility is broad, thanks to two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery support, and an HDMI 1.4 port for external monitors. The integrated card reader supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards for easy media transfer.

To ensure the longevity of your laptop, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures (operating range is 0°C to 40°C). Clean the screen only with a soft, microfiber cloth. The battery supports fast charging; however, to maintain battery health, avoid keeping the device permanently plugged into a power source when not in use for extended periods.
