Specifications
Category | Details for i7 / 16 GB / 512 GB Version |
---|---|
CPU / Performance | Intel 10th Gen Core i7-10710U It’s a low-voltage “U-series” CPU, optimized for mobile/work laptop use: good for productivity, multitasking, but not for heavy gaming or workstation tasks. |
Memory (RAM) | 16 GB LPDDR4x (or LPDDR4 depending on variant). Soldered / onboard – usually not user-upgradeable. |
Storage | 512 GB NVMe PCIe SSD (M.2) — quite fast. |
Display | 13.3-inch, Full HD (1920 × 1080) IPS touchscreen is common. Some models have 4K or UHD options. Brightness around 400 nits for FHD versions. Anti-glare or edge-to-edge glass / touch support depending on the variant. |
Graphics | Integrated graphics — Intel UHD Graphics (or in some sub-variants Intel Iris Plus, depending on exact CPU). No discrete GPU. |
Ports & I/O | Typical port set includes: • 2 × USB-C (Thunderbolt 3 with DisplayPort and Power Delivery) • 1 × USB-A 3.x • HDMI (often HDMI 1.4) • Headphone/mic combo jack • Optional Nano-SIM slot / LTE / “always connected” variants in some models. |
Wireless & Networking | Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) + Bluetooth 5.0 or newer. Some models support LTE (cellular) if equipped. |

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths:
-
Portable & light: good for travel, meetings, work on the go.
-
Strong for productivity tasks: office apps, web, light photo/video work.
-
Good build quality, durable design.
-
Touch / 2-in-1 functionality in “x360” models adds flexibility (laptop/tablet/tent mode).
Limitations / What to Watch Out For:
-
RAM is soldered / fixed, so 16 GB is likely what you get for life; choose carefully if you think you might need more.
-
Integrated graphics: will struggle with demanding GPU workloads (e.g. serious video editing, 3D rendering, gaming).
-
FHD is fine, but 4K versions consume more battery. Brightness / color gamut vary among units, so if you need color-accuracy / outdoor visibility, check that model’s display.
-
Ports are decent, but fewer than large laptops; external adapters may be needed for some setups.
-
Battery life depends a lot on display, usage, whether LTE is used, how “fast charging” is implemented.
What to Check If You’re Buying One in Kenya
-
Confirm exact CPU model (e.g. i7-10710U vs i7-10810U etc.) because performance and power consumption differ.
-
Ask if the display is FHD or 4K, whether it’s touch or not, what brightness, what color accuracy.
-
Make sure battery health is good (if it’s refurbished/used).
-
Check for warranty / parts support locally.
-
Check ports, any missing ones, condition of hinges (especially since x360 models fold).
