Exceptional performance, almost unthinkable in an Ultrabook ™ with such a small footprint, is supported by the new, revolutionary cooling system that adopts an innovative fan with a thickness of only 0,3 mm: a true record. The walls of the cooling ducts are just 0,1mm thick and channel hot air out through hidden vents in the zipper, ensuring efficient and quiet cooling even during high workloads.
The full-size backlit keyboard, which ensures maximum comfort in typing thanks to the key travel of 0,8 mm, is flanked by a wider touchpad than those present in standard notebooks that guarantees precise touches thanks also to the glass coating and supports Windows 10 multi-touch and multi-gesture input with gestures of up to 4 fingers, making switching between different applications or screens smoother.
