Storage is entrusted to a quiet SSD but less energy than a hard drive, more stable and faster.
As a result, the SSD guarantees better fluidity and response on a daily basis, which translates into faster start / stop, application processing and launch, or even faster arrival at the cards of the online game.

Here we find a 512 GB SSD, a capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. However, if you need more space, you can obviously rely on an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0 / USB-C device to benefit from fast transfers.

As for autonomy, count on around 8 hours of battery operation in light use for this computer that is certainly not the most portable by nature due to its 16-inch format but where the finesse and weight content will be appreciated by some. In any case, a 16 inch is comfortable to use. But expect this versatile laptop to get hot and loud when pushed hard (eg treats).

A ventilated support may be used if necessary to limit temperature (remember to check the measurements carefully!).
