Processors
Processors act like your device's brain, telling other components what to do. The higher the number in the series, the more power you'll have for processing tasks.
Memory
The more memory your device has, the more it can do at the same time without slowdowns in performance.
Storage
The more storage your device has, the more room for local files, applications, and professional software.
Display
See and do more on a larger display. A higher refresh rate makes motion feel smoother and more responsive, and the higher the PPI, the sharper your display will be.
NPU
The NPU (neural processing unit) enhances AI processing capabilities, like Windows Studio Effects, measured in trillions of operations per second (TOPS).
Color
Choose from a variety of fresh or classic colors that come in durable, cool metal finishes that stand up to daily use.
