The SSD guarantees a much better fluidity and reactivity in everyday life, which implies in particular start/stop, processing and launching of software much faster, or a faster arrival on the cards of the online games.
Although no dedicated graphics card is on board, you can indeed watch photos and videos but also play modest games. And this is thanks to the Intel Iris Xe graphics solution directly integrated into the processor.
This is a low-power Intel Alder Lake-U hybrid Core i3-1215U, which shows its potential with multi-core software that does not consume too much processor resources. It is associated with 8 GB of RAM to provide good performance in everyday use, such as in office and Internet surfing.
Of course, if 512 GB is not enough, you can rely on an external storage unit. Opting for a USB 3.0/USB-C device is an interesting solution for fast transfers. We can also add a second SSD or a hard drive via the free 2.5-inch slot.
As for the autonomy of this versatile Ultrabook whose contained weight and slimness make it easy to carry, bet on about 6 hours on battery in light use.
