Pros and cons

According to our laptop expert
  • You can play medium demanding games at 60 fps and stream your gameplay in Full HD with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 video card, the i7 processor, and 16GB RAM.
  • The 240Hz screen has a higher refresh rate than most gaming laptops, which is useful for competitive gamers and e-athletes.
  • Set your favorite color on the RGB backlit keyboard, so that you can continue gaming in the dark in style.
  • Always connect the charger while gaming, or the performance won't be as good and the battery will run out within a couple of hours.
  • If you want to create 3D designs, you need an Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 processor and an RTX video card.

Great laptop!

  • nice design
  • Lamps in the keyboard visible 24/7
  • Keyboard lamps easily adjustable and in many different colors
  • Battery life is less than the maximum indicated

I went for a laptop where I could play big games at a high resolution. I now have a laptop that can do just that. This is why it fully meets the requirements I set for my laptop. Of course, no product is perfect and therefore also has some minuses, but these do not outweigh all the pluses that this laptop has.

My first laptop for gaming but also for school work. This is really fantastic, it is fast, has a lot of storage, has a smooth transition in the picture and has many connections to connect mouse, keyboard, headset, etc. The only drawback, if you can call it a drawback, is that the laptop must be connected to the charger during the game in order not to deteriorate in quality, etc. (Games use a lot of power once so it's not really a disadvantage)
