Performance & Memory
- Processor: 13th Gen Intel Core i5 (likely i5-1335U, 10 cores/12 threads, up to 4.6 GHz) is the standard pairing for this chassis.
- Memory: 8GB DDR4-3200 (1x 8GB). Crucially, it has 2 SODIMM slots and can be upgraded to 64GB, which is a major advantage for longevity.
- Graphics: Intel Iris Xe Graphics (requires dual-channel memory to function at full capability; with single-channel 8GB, it may operate as UHD Graphics).
Display & Design
- Screen: 14-inch FHD (1920x1080) anti-glare display. Note that brightness varies by panel option: base models are 250 nits (45% NTSC), while upgraded panels offer 400 nits (100% sRGB).
- Chassis: "Pike Silver Aluminum" finish, weighing approximately 1.4 kg with a 180-degree hinge.
Connectivity & Expansion (Key Strength)
- Ports: 1x Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), 1x USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, 1x HDMI 2.1, 1x RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet, and a headphone jack. The inclusion of Thunderbolt 4 and wired Ethernet in this price tier is a significant business advantage.
- Wireless: Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.
Security & OS
- Security: Includes TPM 2.0, a fingerprint reader (typically), and HP Wolf Security features like Sure Start (self-healing BIOS) and Sure Click.
- OS: FreeDOS (as specified). You will need to install your own operating system (Windows/Linux).
