Bigger, clearer workspace on the move, with a 15.6-inch 1080P IPS display

A 1920 x 1080 IPS panel delivers wide 178 degree viewing angles and a 2000:1 contrast ratio, while 100% sRGB yields more accurate colours and blue light reduction reduces eye strain.

A larger display makes spreadsheets, documents and side-by-side windows far easier to use when working away from a desk, reducing constant window switching and squinting.

Effortless multi-device connections, with USB Type-C and mini HDMI

A USB Type-C port supports video transmission from sources that use USB 3.1 or Thunderbolt 3; otherwise the USB-C port supplies power only. A mini HDMI input accepts standard HDMI signals from consoles and laptops.

Quickly hook up laptops, phones and gaming consoles and choose duplicate, extend or second-screen modes, all without installing extra drivers.

Built-in audio and flexible viewing, with stereo speakers and a magnetic smart case

Two built-in stereo speakers deliver basic audio, while a 3.5mm output allows connection to external speakers or headphones. The PU magnetic smart case protects the screen and provides two grooves for different viewing angles.

On-the-go video calls and casual media playback work with minimal kit, and the case keeps the screen safe while offering practical stand positions on flat surfaces.
