What else should we know? At its heart is a Ryzen 5 3550H, a quad-core CPU with eight threads and a Radeon Vega 8 graphics. There's also 16GB of RAM (in dual channel configuration), a 512GB SSD, a 1TB hard drive, Wi-Fi 5 and a plethora of ports. We counted 14 ports, half of them USB ones. The fingerprint reader is located on the top of the device and there's even a pair of microphones and a clear CMOS button in case of emergency.

Any cons? Why the hard drive? We have no clue. We'd prefer to have a 1TB SSD. Also the specs lists Bluetooth 4.2, surely a mistake.
