A beautiful cylindrical hinge design with battery and hinge designed as one keeps size and weight light while ensuring maximum strength at one of the most vulnerable points of the laptop. -
Precise typing
An ergonomic isolation keyboard with keys protruding vertically from a beautifully carved flat surface enhances looks and ease of use. Typing is more comfortable than ever with no lateral movement and the center of each key slightly indented to ensure each key stroke provides a solid and precise response. Optimum spacing between keys minimizes typing errors, especially for those with long or manicured nails.
