Who It's For

The laptop is best for students, remote workers and small business users who want a dependable 15.6' touchscreen laptop with strong multitasking ability thanks to 16GB RAM and a large 1TB SSD. It suits users who prioritize fast storage, responsive performance for office suites, and the convenience of a touchscreen and numeric keypad for spreadsheets.
