AMD Ryzen 5 processor
The AMD Ryzen 5 processor in this laptop lets you flex your creative muscles. You won't have any problems running demanding software, and power-hungry programs like image manipulation and video editing will work like a dream.

Streaming, rendering and video editing will all be a cinch thanks to its 6-core and 12-thread design, and you can expect games to run with sharp graphics and silky-smooth frame rates.

A solid performer
The more RAM your machine has, the faster you can expect it to open and run programs. This laptop packs 8GB of RAM; plenty if you have to have lots of tabs open and like to multi-task between apps.

Super-fast loading with loads of storage
The 256GB Solid State Drive (SSD) gives you the capacity to store documents and media, while ensuring speedy and dependable access to your files and programs. It'll boots up in a flash, and you'll have enough space for your music, films, and a couple of games too.

AMD Vega Graphics
AMD's Vega graphics processing unit (GPU) will enable you to enjoy a number of classic older games, along with some casual (web-based) gaming. You may be able to run more modern titles with reduced effects and frame rates.

Great entertainment
The WUXGA display means films and games will look just as incredible as they do on TV, with the built-in sound system providing crisp, clear audio to accompany whatever's on-screen.

Connecting your other devices
Connect to TVs or external displays with the HDMI output. Listen to music using a 3.5mm headphone jack. Connect to high-speed peripherals with the USB ports, and send data wirelessly between devices using Bluetooth.
