Suits mobile professionals needing light weight

Weighing between 2 and 2.9 lbs, the carbon fiber and magnesium alloy chassis meets 12 military grade requirements and passes more than 200 quality checks. Security features include a fingerprint reader, ThinkShutter camera cover and discrete Trusted Platform Module encryption. Buyers who require more than 8GB of memory or a dedicated graphics processor should consider other configurations.

Handles everyday workloads

The 1TB NVMe SSD offers ample capacity for operating system, applications and large project files while delivering quick boot and load times. Thunderbolt 3 over USB Type C supports data transfer up to 40 Gbps and video output for external displays. The 8GB memory ceiling limits heavy multitasking, virtualisation or large dataset work beyond casual use.
