Although it is not as light as some ultra-thin notebook products, its weight and thickness are enough to meet the daily mobile office needs of business people, and it is also very light in a briefcase. At the same time, because the notebook screen adopts narrow frame design, the shell of the machine is smaller, which adds a lot to its portability.
