On the other hand, the wireless connectivity is disappointing because it is old since we find Wi-Fi 5 ac and Bluetooth 5.1 modules, and not Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.2/.3 which are more recent and efficient.

Another regret: the absence of backlighting on the chiclet keyboard, which is difficult to understand at this price level.
