The display itself features a 93.7% screen-to-body ratio with super small bezels, making your content viewing experience even better.
The laptop features up to a 97WHr battery which is built-in but not user-replaceable and powered by a 90W/130W AC Adapter (Type-C). The entire unit is featured in an elegant CNC machined aluminum body which is colored in Platinum Silver with a carbon fiber composite palm rest colored in black. The touch panel features the Corning Gorilla Glass 6, making it super durable.
