We like the fact that there's a 48Wh battery in this, and it weighs just 725 gramms. This is one of the lightest 12.3-inch tablets you can buy with that sort of battery capacity. Celeron version uses a 7th Gen Kaby Lake CPU. The Core versions use the 2018 Amber lake architecture. Drive sizes go to 256GB. RAM size goes up to 16 GB. Screen technology is advanced. Google quote a 10 hour battery life (we expect 6 hour in normal usage.)
