Thin kilogram ultrabook with a thickness of 12.9 mm. Despite the modest dimensions, an Intel Core m3, 4 GB of RAM and 128/256 GB in the form of a high-speed SSD fit inside. The screen with a diagonal of 12.5 inches is endowed with a glossy IPS matrix with rich colors and wide viewing angles, and Full HD resolution makes the display even more attractive. In the fight against extra millimeters, the manufacturer installed a passive cooling system.

A slightly changed appearance and minor modernization of the filling could not create the illusion of a fundamentally new device in the line, and we have to admit that this is a positive thing.
