Customers will have a choice of two laptops: A 13.8-inch model starting at $999 and a 15-inch model starting at $1299.

Both laptops have HDR touchscreen displays, they are also equipped with Snapdragon X Plus with 10 cores or Elite with 12 cores, have two USB-C and one USB-A ports, a headphone port, Wi-Fi 7, a webcam that will support 1080p video, and initial versions with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of SSD storage.
