Windows 10 comes pre-installed with the latest update depending on when you start using it on your machine.

another type of backlighting. The typical Thermal Design Power is 15 watts and the battery life is roughly 5 hours on an average use of web browsing and video streaming.
The 17.3-inch LED-backlit non-touch display has the 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, clear images with the vibrant colors and good contrast. And the built-in graphics card is the Vega 10 that lets you play the simple, not-so-demanding games fluently and some of the latest games at lower settings and resolutions. It is great as a built-in graphics card and better than the Intel HD counterparts. You can enjoy the detailed images on the Full HD display thanks to the Radeon Vega 10 graphics. For how much this laptop costs screen quality is quite all right. It has a decent 2MP front facing webcam with a built-in microphone for your live Skype chats with friends and family.
