Duck if one is thrown at you, however, as its one dense, heavy machine.
Its a 14in 2,560 x 1,600 IPS panel with a quoted peak of 500cd/m2, though I measured 489cd/m2.
The laptop offers all the versatility of a convertible together with a superb screen
With excellent whites, you couldnt ask for more in a business laptop.
Thekeyboardis cut from the same cloth as theDell XPS 13, with a pleasant feel to the keys.
Again, though, I didnt enjoy the off-center typing position.
The keyboard has a pleasant feel, but is slightly off-centre
Then we come to the touchpad.
Two small fans keep the CPU cool, but even in this supercharged mode I rarely heard any noise.
The exceptions were during extended tests such as Cinebench 2024, with the multicore section particularly strenuous.
It should do sterling service for years.
And those speakers are excellent, delivering a quality Id expect from a consumerlaptoprather than a business machine.
Aside from a 3.5mm combo jack and security lock, thats your lot.
Ports and price aside, I cant find anything to fault in this high-quality convertible.
