For audio, there are a total of 4 speakers (2 for low frequencies and 2 for high frequencies). There is a 1080p webcam for video calling. Notably, the new chip enables real-time noise reduction for better video calling.
Inside, the machine equips the newly released Arm-based Snapdragon X Plus chipset.
