The computer is designed to be portable, so you will find it convenient to tune in while you’re on the run. A metallic cover, travel-friendly dimensions (9.92 x 0.78 x 14.28”), and beveled edges make it simple to pack the laptop in your bag and rush off without feeling bogged down.
Display & Graphics
Dedicated NVIDIA graphics makes a world of difference when it comes to the viewing experience. If you have been using integrated graphics before, the difference will be massive (up to three times improved performance). The screen is full High-Definition (1920 x 1080) and supports In-Plane Switching, allowing you to enjoy distortion-free imagery.
The unique design of this Ideapad also enhances the quality of the display. Since the profile of the laptop is sleek and minimalist, the bezel around the screen has also followed suit. You will find that two bezels around the screen are far trimmer than before, and this realizes an immersive, edge-to-edge experience when you stream Netflix after the end of a long day at work.
