Powered by Intel Core Ultra 5 or AMD Ryzen AI 5

The laptops will be powered by either Intel Core Ultra 5 (Panther Lake) or AMD Ryzen AI 5 (Gorgon Point) processors. The base configuration includes 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Both models feature two SO-DIMM slots for memory upgrades and a user-replaceable keyboard. The battery is limited to 57 Wh, and there is no 5G option.
