- It has an Intel Core 5 120U processor, 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD and runs on Chrome OS.

- The battery life is not very long, lasting around 7.25 hours of web browsing and 10.5 hours of video looping.
- The display is a standout feature, with a 16.0-inch 16:10 QHD+ (2560 x 1600) IPS, 120Hz display that supports pretty good gaming while punching way above its weight class.
