Authenticating biometrically is possible by facial recognition through the Infrared functionality of the webcam and Windows Hello technology.

When not using their webcam, those who wish to preserve their privacy will appreciate being able to slide a cover in front.

If you need to better distinguish the keys, simply activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard.

The keyboard comes with NumberPad technology. When enabled, NumPad turns the touchpad into a tactile numeric keypad to easily enter numbers.
This is all the more appreciable since the space necessary to accommodate a numeric keypad is lacking on the right of the keyboard, as under any model less than 15 inches.

The Full HD screen represents an undeniable advantage of this configuration.
Because it benefits from DCI-P3 OLED specifications guaranteeing colorimetric accuracy well above average with great black depth, minimal latency as well as significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical.
The screen also stands out with its 16:10 format displaying more information in height than the classic 16:9 format.
The screen has a glossy treatment due to its OLED technology. As a result, the colors are very vivid but there is sensitivity in a bright environment.

Logically given the rest of the configuration and positioning of this laptop PC, no dedicated graphics card is on board.
However, thanks to the benefits of the Intel Arc solution integrated into the Core Ultra 5, which are superior to those of the classic Iris Xe, we can watch HD photos and videos. But also play modest games.

The heart of this laptop is accompanied by SSD storage that is more shock resistant than a hard drive but also consumes less energy, is quieter and much faster.

Generally speaking, responsiveness and fluidity are much better with an SSD than with a hard drive.

However, if you need additional space, you can expand it using an external storage module. Favoring a USB 3.0/USB-C/Thunderbolt device then represents an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.

Furthermore, expect some heat and noise when this versatile multimedia laptop is pushed hard, but at controlled levels compared to a computer with a more powerful processor.
Anyway, if necessary, we can pair this Ultrabook with a ventilated support to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
