Supercharged visuals

The 16″ display feels larger thanks to 4-sided narrow bezels and a 90% Active Area Ratio for more screen space. The up-to-2.5K display gives you vibrant colour and more contrast, with an up to 16″ IPS display with 100% sRGB for excellent colour saturation. The 16:10 aspect ratio is great for watching movies but also document-friendly, and TÜV certification for low blue light keeps your eyes free from strain. A pair of Dolby Audio™ user-facing speakers deliver impressive sound quality for pure entertainment bliss.
