Bluetooth 4.0 Dual mode Bluetooth 4.0 connects to the newest low energy Bluetooth products as well as your
familiar devices, such as headsets, keyboard, mice and more.
2 Optimized power modes during periods of activity and inactivity to improve platform battery life
Intel Power Optimizer
for greater mobility and convenience. Dramatically lower power consumption than previous
generation products.
HMC and M.2 Form Factors Single sided HMC and M.2 modules support multiple connectors for flexible system
configuration and platform usages. The new M.2 form factor (2230 and 2226 Solder Down)
delivers a smaller, lower profile, more flexible form factor for thin-and-light designs.
