It’s powered by dual core quad thread Intel Core i3 8109U CPU. It comes with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD. These specs are enough for typical PC workloads such as browsing web, or editing documents. It’s not equipped with discrete graphics but with integrated graphics.

- RAM: 12 GB

For the screen we’re dealing with a 15.6-inch IPS screen with 1920×1080 pixel resolution. It delivers average screen sharpness with unknown color accuracy. As for the connectivity you get Bluetooth 5, some type of Wi-Fi and the full set of ports. It has 3x USB 3.0 Type-A, USB Type-C, HDMI output, microSD and 3.5mm audio jack.

The Intel Core i3 8109U is from 2018. It is barely sufficient for basic web browsing. Do not expect any heavy multitasking to run smoothly.
Is the price actually low enough to justify buying an 8 year old CPU? 12 GB of RAM helps but it feels like a bad trade.
