WAIT
  • 41 months on the market β€” a successor may be near
Great choice if these matter:
  • Slim performance laptops
  • Light gaming on integrated graphics
  • Content Creation
Watch out for:
  • There is no NPU, so no on-device AI acceleration
  • 16 MB of L3 cache is modest for this power class

Main risks
  • A successor may be near β€” 41 months since release
  • There is no NPU, so no on-device AI acceleration
  • 16 MB of L3 cache is modest for this power class
The risk level is computed from the release date and verified weaknesses. The confidence score appears only once enough owner reports exist.
This box relies only on verified specs, the release date and editorial assessment; owner reports join them as they come in. We do not predict prices.
