It’s a shame not to have to deal with newer and more powerful Wi-Fi 6 ax, or a chiclet keyboard backlighting solution.
On the other hand, if you enter the numbers quickly, you will appreciate being able to activate the NumPad feature as soon as you need it. The NumberPad is a touchpad that sits at the touchpad.

Thanks to its IPS technology, the Full HD screen benefits from wide viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
As it adopts a 16:9 format, the screen lends itself well to displaying videos while its anti-reflective coating ensures better visibility than a glossy panel in bright environments (e.g. outdoors).
