Regarding compatibility, the device supports Wi-Fi 6E for high-speed internet and includes a versatile selection of ports, including HDMI and USB Type-C, for connecting monitors and peripherals. To maintain the device, keep the keyboard clean from dust and avoid using harsh chemicals on the screen; a microfiber cloth is sufficient for the anti-glare display. Since it is military-grade, it is resistant to minor impacts, but you should still store it in a padded sleeve when carrying it in a bag to protect the chassis finish.
