Expert tester comments
A bright and vibrant OLED screen is the main selling point of this laptop, which is geared towards creative users. It comes with an Intel Core i7 CPU and discrete NVIDIA graphics, a fast SSD, and 16GB of RAM (which is not upgradeable, despite having a removeable bottom panel).
