Light chassis
A carbon-fibre lid and aluminium base bring the starting weight to 1.08 kg. PCMag found it lighter than the similarly sized Asus Zenbook 14 UX3405 (about 1.28 kg) and the smaller 13.6-inch Apple MacBook Air (about 1.22 kg).

TrackPoint control
The pointing stick provides cursor control close to the keyboard.

Replaceable drive
The M.2 2280 SSD can be replaced independently of the system board.
