The 33.8cm (13.3-inch) diagonal HD touchscreen display, meanwhile, makes it easier to view and share content, play games with friends and family, or enjoy high-quality music with Beats AudioTM providing for an audio experience on a PC.

Further, an optional hard disk in the base expands storage capacity while dual batteries allow users to stay ultra-mobile.
