How to use
Charge the laptop using the supplied 330 W AC adapter or via the USB‑C Power Delivery port where supported. Power on the system and complete Windows 11 Home initial setup. Install required applications and drivers, including GPU drivers for optimal graphics performance. Use system settings to configure memory, display refresh rate, and thermal profiles according to workload. For heavy GPU- or CPU-intensive tasks, keep ventilation unobstructed and use a stable surface to maintain cooling efficiency.
Usage recommendations
For sustained high-performance workloads, use the supplied AC adapter and select the appropriate performance/power profile in system utilities. Keep BIOS and drivers updated, and consider expanding RAM up to the supported maximum for large projects or advanced multitasking. Avoid blocking ventilation openings and follow safety warnings to keep the device away from children to reduce electric shock risk.
