Maintenance

Cooling System

The system is equipped with a powerful cooling fan, providing a maximum of 6000 revolutions per minute to effectively reduce chip temperature and ensure smoother operation. The fan activates automatically to maintain optimal temperature.

CPU temperature performance with the cooling fan: temperature reaches ~63°C (fan not started), drops to ~50°C (fan activated), and stabilizes at ~47°C (fan continues operation).

Typical temperature regulation:

• 0-10 minutes: CPU temperature reaches around 63°C (fan not started).
• 10-15 minutes: CPU temperature drops to around 50°C (fan activated).
• 16-30 minutes: CPU temperature stabilizes at around 47°C (fan continues operation).

Note: This data was obtained in an AINAVI laboratory (room temp 25°C ± 2°C).

Screen Care (Full Lamination Technology)

The 13.1-inch display screen utilizes Full Lamination Technology (FLT) to improve display quality, reduce reflection, and prevent dust from entering the screen. This technology bonds the touch screen directly to the display panel, eliminating the air layer found in traditional G+G screens.

To clean the screen, use a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
