Thanks to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outside). It also has significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology, however not high-end since here the colorimetry is classic.
With its 16:9 format and precise Full HD definition, the screen lends itself very well to displaying videos and more generally High Definition content.

On the storage side, there is an SSD which clearly enhances responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a simple hard drive. Because an SSD is much faster and offers other additional advantages such as greater robustness, lower energy consumption or even silent operation.
Still, in practice the SSD guarantees in particular much faster starts / stops, processing and launches of applications, or even a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
With its 512 GB, the SSD offers a capacity similar to that offered by standard hard drives. However, if you need more space, you can use an external storage unit such as a USB 3.0 / USB-C device to benefit from fast transfers.
As for autonomy, expect around 7 hours of battery operation in light use for this versatile laptop whose transport is as easy as for an Ultrabook thanks to its controlled weight and its finesse.
