The 120Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling and note-taking feeling smooth, and TÜV Rheinland-certified low blue light plus DC dimming mean it's built for the marathon study sessions where regular screens start to strain the eyes.

The Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip and LPDDR5 memory handle multitasking between apps without slowing down, which helps when you're bouncing between lecture notes, a PDF textbook, and Spotify .

And at under a pound in a metal unibody, it's light enough to carry around campus all day, with IP54 splash resistance so a spilled coffee doesn't end your semester early.
