The said Nebula Display features Quad HD+ resolution, 165Hz refresh rate with a 16:10 aspect-ratio panel. It offers an immersive gaming experience with high pixel density and vivid colors.

In addition, the display has a Corning Gorilla Glass DXC coating that enhances surface hardness by 40% to protect against nicks and scratches, while also significantly reducing glare.

The touchpad has been enlarged by 56%, and the battery capacity has been increased to 75 Wh coupled with 130 watts fast charging via USB Type-C.
