Since its introduction, it has brought about a mixed reaction from laptop users. This laptop comes with just one choice of processor, the 10th-generation Intel Core i5-1035G1, and a choice of 4 or 8GB of RAM, depending on the version. With just over 1.2 kgs it is very light hence increasing its portability. It has a price tag starting at $550 for a version with the same Core-i5 CPU, same display, same aluminum body, same excellent keyboard, same decent webcam as all three base configurations. But it only has 4GB of RAM, a meager 64GB of storage, and lacks the integrated power button Windows Hello fingerprint reader the other models include.
