Sum of the Light Spectrum
The aesthetics formula of AERO 16 consists of polished details and graceful simplicity. The arc body is complemented with neat edges, removing any needless complexities. The CNC aluminum-alloy unibody is much more sophisticated than the traditional 15" laptop. Just as a prism disperses light into its constituent spectral colors, the AERO 16 is the personification of an inverted prism, uniting the colorful and exquisite qualities of life into one rich sum experience.
CNC finely crafted perfect molding
AERO adopts the CNC production process that is merely for high-end products. The precision-cut AERO brings a beautiful structure to the notebook, and every angle of the shell is carefully crafted, showing a delicate texture and robust quality.
