Editorial Notes

The 16-inch Intel model with Core Ultra 7 155H and 1 TB storage standard is well-configured out of the box for most creative workloads. Thunderbolt 4 connectivity and an 84 Wh battery make it a well-rounded performer. The 2.8K 120 Hz OLED display is excellent for video editing and photo work.
