You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers.

For example

Uses LED backlighting, resulting in better image quality, more vibrant colors and richer blacks.

The device has a display with three full subpixels per pixel, resulting in a sharp and crisp picture. Pixels in some displays (like AMOLED) share one subpixel to preserve space. This can result in a less crisp, slightly blurred image.

Best

It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.

Best

Flash-based storage devices such as SSDs have no mechanical components. Due to this they are typically faster, run silently, and are more shock resistant than traditional HDDs.

Best

More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.

Best

More USB 3.0 ports allow you to connect more devices to your computer that support USB 3.0. USB 3.0 is an improved version of USB 2.0 which offers faster transfer rates.

Best

Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to easily transfer data between different devices, such as smartphones, tablets and computers.

More HDMI ports mean that you can simultaneously connect numerous devices, such as video game consoles and set-top boxes.

Best

The USB Type-C features reversible plug orientation and cable direction.

The device can connect to WiFi.
