Features

Unified Memory

You get 24GB of unified memory. This type of RAM is shared between the CPU and GPU, which can speed things up for certain tasks, especially graphics-intensive ones. It’s not traditional separate RAM, so how it performs depends on the specific workload.

144Hz Refresh Rate

The 144Hz refresh rate on the 15.6" Liquid Retina display means the screen updates 144 times per second. For fast-moving visuals, like in games or scrolling through content, this results in smoother motion compared to standard 60Hz displays.

Port Selection

This laptop comes with a decent array of ports. You have Ethernet for a wired network connection, USB-C and Thunderbolt 4 for high-speed data transfer and display output, MagSafe for charging, and HDMI 2.1 for connecting to external monitors or TVs. Having MagSafe means you don't tie up a USB-C port just for charging.

Included Extras

If you're a student, there's a discount available. You also get a free mouse and a 1-year subscription to Office 365 included with your purchase.
