even though they have standard screen sizes, the s15 (15.6-inch screen) and s14 (14-inch screen) come with smaller footprints than similarly sized laptops, measuring just 18mm in thickness and weighing just 1.8kg and 1.4kg respectively kg. Both laptops also feature an ergolift hinge design that the company claims gives it a more desktop-keyboard-like feel, lifting the deck when you open the lid. this also helps to provide extra ventilation to the interior.

The s15 and s14 are powered by up to an eighth-generation Intel core-i7 8550u processor, with the other options being the core-i5 8250u and core-i3 8130u chips. discrete graphics options will include nvidia geforce mx150 and mx130 gpus with high-end models and integrated intel hd graphics with base versions.
