For those who appreciate sound, the built-in speakers and smart amplifier deliver an enveloping surround sound experience. The backlit keyboard and precision touchpad enhance usability, while the high-speed card slots appeal to photographers and content creators alike.
And there’s more – like the side-mounted power button with fingerprint sensor for quick and secure access, and a 2-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera that makes video calls more engaging.
