Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the laptop, you must first install a compatible operating system via a bootable USB drive, as the device is sold without one pre-loaded. Ensure you have the necessary drivers downloaded from the official Lenovo support portal after installation. For physical care, keep the laptop in a well-ventilated area to allow the internal fans to effectively manage heat. Clean the screen using a microfiber cloth and refrain from using harsh chemicals. When charging, use the included 135W AC adapter, though the USB-C port does support Power Delivery between 65W and 100W for convenience while traveling.
