In addition, this laptop offers a fingerprint reader inserted in the power button as well as an infrared technology webcam allowing facial recognition. Consequently, we are found here with a biometric authentication solution with 2 factors secured by the TPM 2.0 chip, and which can be used under Windows Hello.
To seduce professionals and those who wish to do without it as much as it can with a mouse, Lenovo incorporates a second pointing system here in addition to the traditional touchpad: a trackpoint at the center of the keyboard, rarer and precise.
A keyboard that can obviously be activated the retro lighting as soon as you need to better distinguish your keys.
The connection integrated into this ultrabook is good, composed of 1 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, Ethernet (rare) and audio ports, Bluetooth 5.1 modules and Wi-Fi 6 AX to communicate and connect at a wireless remote, a useful HDMI video output in order to connect it to a TV or a monitor for example as well as 2 USB 3 USB 3.0) Ensuring transfers taking place up to 5 times faster than in USB 2.0 if a USB 3.0 device is plugged into it.

The Full HD screen with substantial vertical and horizontal vision angles thanks to its IPS technology has classic colorimetry, lower than that provided by high -end IPS.
