Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure the laptop is charged using the included 65W AC adapter. Upon first boot, follow the Windows 11 setup prompts; note that the device arrives in 'S mode,' which optimizes security by only allowing apps from the Microsoft Store. If you require specific desktop software outside the store, you can exit S mode via the activation settings.

For care, clean the screen only with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the anti-glare finish. Keep the intake vents at the bottom clear of dust to maintain cooling efficiency. When transporting, ensure the lid is fully closed to protect the display, and use a padded sleeve to prevent external casing damage.
