This laptop PC offers good connectivity that has no reason to be ashamed of that of many (much) more expensive models: an SD card reader, 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless modules. for remote connections and communications, a practical HDMI video output for easy connection to a TV or monitor for example, an audio port as well as 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 devices.
The Full HD screen, which lends itself well to displaying videos due to its 16:9 format, has an anti-reflective treatment making it more readable in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a shiny panel.

The Core i7-13620H deploys its potential for work requiring CPU (and RAM) resources using multi-core, for example in video editing or photo editing.
In practice, we obtain much faster processing with this laptop than with a PC based on a classic Quad/Hexa Core. We clearly feel the difference in areas like video editing or photo editing.
SSD storage helps ensure fast processing, as well as application launches and starts/shutdowns.
More generally, the SSD provides great responsiveness and fluidity in use since it is very fast. As a bonus, it is quiet, energy efficient and shock resistant.
Here we find a classic capacity of 512 GB, as with many models on the market (including – many – more expensive).
However, if you need additional space, you can use an external storage unit. In this case, favoring a USB 3.0/USB-C device represents an advantageous option for obtaining fast transfers.
