Know before you buy
Yes, the display features an anti-glare coating that helps reduce reflections and eye strain. While it is rated at 300 nits, which is standard for indoor office use, the anti-glare finish makes it much more readable than glossy screens in well-lit spaces.

Absolutely. It features a 5MP webcam that provides clear video quality, and it includes a physical privacy shutter so you can easily block the camera when it is not in use.
The E16 Gen 2 is designed with expandability in mind. While it comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD, the internal slots allow for future memory and storage upgrades if your workload requirements grow over time.
