Tough, Color-Rich Glass
The 14-inch[1] Full HD IPS display is also a touchscreen, covered in highly durable Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass[1]. At 340 nits brightness[1] and a 100% sRGB gamut, colors are vivid and screen space is plentiful with the narrow-bezel design also offering up an impressive 90% screen-to-body ratio.

Strong, Silent Type
Maximize on every task with the latest 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processor, up to 1TB of high-speed PCIe SSD storage. Multiple cooling modes, accessible via shortcut Fn + F, also make it easy to tailor the laptop noise to the ambience of where you’re working from. Dual heat pipes and the hinge, which lifts the device when the screen is opened, further enhance the laptop’s performance.
