UPGRADES

To maximize the utility of your investment and keep your workflow uninterrupted, Tijad Tech Solutions recommends these targeted additions:

Speed Enhancement Upgrade: While the 500GB HDD provides excellent storage space, upgrading to an internal 256GB or 512GB Solid State Drive (SSD) later will give you near-instant boot times and rapid application loading speeds.
Peripheral Precision: Pair the laptop with a Logitech Silent Wireless Mouse to drastically improve navigation speed through large accounting ledgers and spreadsheets.
Commuter Protection: Preserve the brushed aluminum lid with a 14-inch heavy-duty padded laptop sleeve to safeguard against scuffs during transit on public transport or across town.

Massive 500GB Storage & 8GB Multitasking

In Kenya’s daily business and academic routines, having ample offline storage is essential. The 500GB Hard Drive provides plenty of room to save extensive document archives, heavy software setups, and media collections without relying constantly on expensive or unstable cloud storage. Paired with 8GB of RAM, this laptop provides the breathing room needed to run Zoom meetings, office software, and browser tabs simultaneously without running into memory bottlenecks.

Full Enterprise Ports: Zero Dongle Hassle

Many newer laptops require expensive, easily misplaced adapters to connect to standard peripherals. The Folio 9470m solves this by coming equipped with built-in VGA and DisplayPort video outputs, 3 full-sized USB 3.0 ports, and a dedicated RJ-45 Ethernet port. This makes it instantly compatible with presentation projectors, legacy office monitors, and wired internet connections anywhere in the country.
