The NPU chip has been greatly improved, and the AI performance is worth looking forward to. To enhance heat dissipation, graphene is added to the main shell and copper is added to the logo on the back.
The display features a dual-layer series OLED ultra-fine retina XDR display with a peak brightness of 1600 nits, with the following parameters:
Storage starts at 256GB and caps at 2TB; The interface is Thunderbolt / USB 4 with DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3/4 support for speeds up to 40Gb/s; The charging head is still 20W, and an additional polishing and cleaning cloth is provided; The front camera has been changed to landscape orientation, and the pixels are still 12 million.
