Other Features
Zero Bright Dot(within one month after purchasing) The smooth hidden hinge design eliminates the creaky sound when opening and closing a notebook and delivers a clear view of the screen. With no gap dividing the touch pad and palm rest, annoying dust accumulation is a thing of the past. A latchless design allows you to open the notebook easily without sacrificing display protection. These semi-invisible fast keys are stylish and practical, give your full attention to the screen.
