Common Questions

How responsive is the touchscreen for everyday business tasks?
The 10-point multi-touch display responds instantly to touch input—in our testing, gestures like pinch-to-zoom in Excel spreadsheets, swiping through PowerPoint slides during presentations, and tapping to select cells or buttons feel natural and precise. Windows 11 Pro's touch-optimised interface includes larger touch targets in the Start menu and taskbar, which means you can comfortably navigate without accidentally triggering adjacent controls. The screen works particularly well for reviewing PDFs during meetings where you can tap to zoom into contract details or swipe through pages without switching to trackpad mode. For digital inking with a compatible stylus, the display provides smooth tracking suitable for annotating documents, though it lacks the palm rejection technology found in dedicated drawing tablets.

Can it handle video calls whilst multitasking with other applications?
Absolutely—in our testing, this configuration ran Microsoft Teams video calls with screen sharing, Outlook with three mailboxes syncing, Excel with pivot tables updating, and 20+ Chrome tabs simultaneously whilst maintaining smooth performance. The 32GB RAM provides substantial headroom, which means background processes like antivirus scans or Windows updates won't interrupt your video calls. The touchscreen remains responsive even during heavy multitasking, allowing you to quickly switch between applications with touch gestures whilst maintaining your video call.

Is 256GB storage enough for business use?
For most business users working with cloud storage, 256GB proves sufficient. After installing Windows 11 Pro, Microsoft Office 365, Adobe Acrobat, Teams, and typical business applications, you'll have approximately 150-170GB remaining for documents, downloads, and project files. This capacity comfortably accommodates 40,000+ Word documents, 15,000+ PowerPoint presentations, or substantial Excel databases. Our technicians routinely see business users operate comfortably within this capacity when storing active projects locally whilst archiving completed work to OneDrive or network drives. If you need to store large video libraries, extensive photo collections, or multiple virtual machines locally, consider external storage or cloud solutions.

Performance & Real-World Use

The Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U's 8-core architecture delivers substantially better multi-threaded performance compared to quad-core processors found in budget laptops—our benchmark testing shows it completes file compression at 708.5 MB/sec and handles PDF rendering at 215.4 million pixels per second. In practical terms, this means compiling large Excel workbooks with complex formulas takes seconds rather than minutes, and exporting PowerPoint presentations to PDF happens nearly instantaneously. The 32GB RAM configuration eliminates the need to close applications to free memory—during our 40+ point quality assurance inspection including 4+ hours of stress testing under load, systems maintained responsive performance even with memory usage exceeding 20GB.

The touchscreen functionality adds practical value in business scenarios where traditional input methods feel cumbersome. During client presentations, you can advance PowerPoint slides with a swipe, zoom into specific chart details with pinch gestures, and annotate slides in real-time using Windows Ink—eliminating the need to fumble with trackpad controls whilst maintaining audience engagement. For document review workflows, tapping to navigate through contract pages or highlighting text with touch feels more intuitive than mouse selection, particularly when working at standing desks or in tight conference room spaces. The combination of touch input and traditional TrackPoint/touchpad provides flexibility to switch input methods based on the task—using touch for quick navigation and precise pointing devices for detailed spreadsheet work.

The 256GB NVMe SSD provides exceptional responsiveness for everyday tasks. Applications like Outlook, Word, and Chrome launch in under two seconds, whilst large Excel files with 100,000+ rows open in approximately five seconds. The drive's fast write speeds mean saving documents happens instantaneously, and Windows updates that typically take 20-30 minutes on hard drive systems complete in under 10 minutes. For storage management, the microSD card reader accepts cards up to 2TB for expandable storage of archived projects or media files, whilst the dual USB-C ports support external NVMe enclosures for additional high-speed storage when needed.

Touchscreen Technology

The multi-touch display supports 10 simultaneous touch points, enabling gesture-based interactions such as two-finger scrolling through documents, pinch-to-zoom in web browsers and images, and three-finger swipes to switch between open applications. Windows 11 Pro's touch interface includes larger touch targets throughout the operating system—the Start menu, taskbar icons, and File Explorer elements are sized appropriately for finger input without requiring precision tapping. For business users who work with stylus input, the screen supports compatible active styluses (sold separately) for digital inking in applications like OneNote, Adobe Acrobat, and Microsoft Whiteboard, though it lacks the advanced palm rejection and pressure sensitivity levels found in dedicated 2-in-1 convertibles or Surface devices. The display remains readable from typical viewing angles whether using touch input or traditional pointing devices, maintaining consistent colour and brightness across the 85-degree viewing cone.

Operating System

Windows 11 Pro includes enterprise management features such as BitLocker drive encryption, Windows Information Protection, and Remote Desktop hosting—essential for businesses with IT security requirements. The operating system's touch-optimised interface provides smooth gesture navigation, including swiping from screen edges to access Action Centre and widgets, tapping to activate touch keyboard when needed, and using touch-based window management to snap applications side-by-side. The TPM 2.0 security chip built into this laptop provides hardware-based credential storage, which means your login credentials and encryption keys remain protected even if the storage drive is removed. Windows 11 Pro also supports Azure Active Directory integration for organisations using Microsoft 365 cloud services.
