Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the laptop is connected to the provided 240W power adapter to maximize performance profiles under Windows 11 Home. During initial setup, utilize the built-in Windows update tool to ensure the latest drivers for the Intel Graphics and NVIDIA RTX hardware are installed. Because the device uses a powerful lithium-polymer battery, avoid leaving it plugged into AC power at 100% for extended periods if you primarily use it as a desktop replacement; consider using power management software to limit the charge level. Keep the intake vents on the bottom and rear clear of dust to maintain the efficiency of the cooling system. Regularly wipe the 18-inch display with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to avoid smudges, ensuring no abrasive cleaners are applied to the panel.
