Editorial Notes
The 4th Gen refined the aluminium chassis and maintained the garaged pen. Available with 8th Gen or 10th Gen Intel CPUs depending on configuration. The iron-grey colour option was popular. Privacy Guard display option was unique to this generation.
The FHD option is adequate but the 4K panel has noticeable battery impact. Some 10th Gen (Comet Lake) configurations run warmer than the 8th Gen variants.
Used market CHF 250-500 on Ricardo. Good value for a premium convertible with pen support.
Certified. Mature Intel platform works flawlessly. Both 8th and 10th Gen CPUs have excellent driver support.
