The laptop comes with a 12th Gen Intel processor and also packs 16 GB RAM and up to 1 TB SSD storage. The thin and light laptop weights 1.35 kg, sporting a magnesium alloy body.

Just like the Megabook T1, the newly announced Megabook S1 features a 15.6-inch display. The former was launched in Champagne Gold, Monet Violet, Rome Mint and Space Grey colour options, but Tecno is yet to reveal colour variants for the Megabook S1.
