Questions about this item
How does the 1.60 GHz i5-8250U behave when it runs at 3.4 GHz for long periods?
The processor can reach 3.4 GHz on Turbo Boost, but sustained all-core speeds drop lower to stay within the cooling limits of the thin chassis.
What fan noise and surface heat should I expect after hours of typical office work?
The dual-fan system keeps the keyboard deck warm but not hot; fan noise stays at a low hum during documents and web browsing.
Which peripherals or docks must I already own to use the Thunderbolt 3 port?
A Thunderbolt 3 cable and a compatible dock, monitor or storage device with a USB-C connector are required to use the 40 Gbps link.
