It’s a 13-inch laptop with a 360-degree screen hinge. This allows you to flip it around and use it like a tablet, or prop up with the screen front-and-centre so you can, for example, pop it down on a worktop and follow a recipe. It weighs 1.4kg, making it light enough to chuck into a bag and carry around for a day without being a noticeable burden.
The specs - a six-core AMD Ryzen 5 processor, a generous 16GB of Ram and a 512GB SSD - provide everything you’ll need for a computer that won’t slow down no matter how many web browser tabs you’ve opened. It should be capable of much more too, with editing batches of large photos well within its abilities.
There are two USB-A ports, and a further two USB-Cs, one of which is used to charge the laptop. There is also an HDMI port, a micro-SD card slot and a headphone/microphone jack.
There’s also a fingerprint scanner and a facial recognition camera, so you have various options for logging into the computer and websites.
