Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply follow the on-screen prompts upon your first boot to connect to your Wi-Fi and sign in with your Google Account. For peripherals, utilize the two USB-C ports which support Power Delivery, allowing you to charge the device via either port. To care for the display, use only a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid scratches, as the touchscreen panel is sensitive. While the chassis is built from durable ABS and polycarbonate materials, avoid excessive pressure on the lid when the laptop is closed. Ensure the device stays within its operating temperature range of 5 to 35 °C to preserve battery health and component longevity.
