The device retains a conventional laptop chassis but adds distinctive touches such as a "G"‑logo key on the keyboard and an integrated RGB light strip on the rear of the display. The photos also show a large touchpad, a comfortable keyboard, and a solid connectivity suite with two USB‑Type‑C ports, two USB‑Type‑A ports, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
