- Does it run all Windows software?
- Most mainstream apps run natively on ARM. Older x86 programs run through emulation and some, especially games and certain drivers, do not work.
- Is the screen good enough for photo editing?
- The 2304x1536 panel is sharp and covers the sRGB range well. Its LCD contrast is weaker than OLED, so dark scenes look less deep.
- How long does the battery really last?
- Microsoft rates it around 20 hours. Real-world mixed use typically lands well short of that but still covers a full workday.
- Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
- No. The 16 GB RAM is soldered and the SSD is not user-replaceable, so buy the capacity you need up front.
- Does it have a headphone jack and USB-A?
- It has a 3.5 mm headphone jack and USB-C ports; check the port list, since USB-A is limited on this line.
- Is it good for gaming?
- No. The Snapdragon X Elite is built for efficiency, and many games either will not launch or run poorly.
