- Ports for the office: USB4 (40 Gbps), USB-C 10 Gbps, two USB-A, HDMI 2.1, Gigabit Ethernet and an SD card reader, so you need fewer adapters.
- Built-in security: fingerprint reader in the power button, IR camera for Windows Hello facial recognition, a camera privacy shutter and firmware TPM 2.0.
