7.7mm
7.2mm
We consider a thinner chassis better because it makes the product more compact and portable. Thinness is a feature highlighted by many manufacturers of mobile devices, but it is essential for a wide range of products.
3.height
128mm
134.7mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product. We consider a smaller height better because it assures easy maneuverability.
4.width
214mm
200mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product. We consider a smaller width better because it assures easy maneuverability.
5.volume
210.92cm³
