1. The design is ultra lightweight and slim, meaning it won't take up a ton of space in your bag when you need to switch up your location.

It's, like, really slim, coming in at 15.69 mm when closed and it only weighs 2.44 lbs.

2. You won't need to stress if your charger goes missing in your apartment (don't worry, it happens to all of us), because this baby has a whopping 13 hours of battery life.

That means you'll be able to get through a full workday (and then some) without even plugging in your device. It also has a fast-charging option that'll bless you with around 80% of your battery in roughly an hour.

3. It has a touchscreen, so it's basically a tablet and laptop rolled into one.

Now your hand won't cramp up after hours of surfing and scrolling in the same position.

4. And signing in couldn't be easier! The Fingerprint Power Button with Windows Hello and One Touch sign-in will recognize your fingerprint instantly, so you won't have to try to remember another password.

You probably have about 1,000 passwords bopping around your head, and another one just isn't going to fit in there. With this model, all you have to do is place your finger on the power button, and voilà! You're in.

5. It comes in three colours, so you can choose the model that matches your home decor vibes perfectly.

It comes in three different colours on Best Buy: Ice Blue (light blue), Sandstone (rose gold), and Platinum (silver). Sandstone is our personal fave, because, like, look at it?!

6. It has 128GB storage and you can purchase affordable cloud storage if you want extra space for your pics, games, and files.

You won't have to worry about running out of space or purchasing a pricey external hard drive to keep all your precious files safe.

7. It has a full-sized keyboard and an extra-large precision trackpad that'll make typing up essays, gaming, and scrolling a total breeze.
