Mobile professionals

Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C supports high-speed docks and external displays. Buyers who require a larger screen, discrete graphics, touchscreen input or greater internal storage should look at other configurations.
180 GB SSD capacity
The single specification that decides fit is the 180 GB solid-state drive. It determines how many applications and local files the system can hold before external or cloud storage becomes necessary. Verify that this capacity matches your workload before purchasing.
