The laptop comes with a 6th-gen Core i3 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and a 1TB hard disk. The laptop doesn’t come with Windows pre-installed, so you’ll have to install it yourself, or you can choose to install a different OS altogether (like Ubuntu, if you like).

However, the highlight of this laptop is the design, which, while not “slim” per se, is definitely very appealing and in the smokey-gray-silver color looks even better and unique. Plus, there’s a USB 3.1 Type-C port here as well, which is not something you’ll find in every laptop in this price range.
