Pros and cons
According to our laptop expert
- You can play medium demanding games at 60 fps and stream your gameplay in Full HD or QHD with the RTX 4060 video card, Ryzen 7 processor, and 16GB RAM.
- The NPU and AI functions of the AMD Ryzen 8000 processor adjust the frame rate and resolution to each other automatically, so you always game smoothly.
- With the backlit keys, you don't have any trouble mastering the controls of your game in low light.
- If you want to play demanding games, we recommend at least an RTX 4070 video card.
- Due to the large 17-inch size and 3.1kg weight, this laptop is less easy to take with you in your backpack or laptop bag.

I have been using the laptop for a little over a week now and I am absolutely satisfied with my purchase. Price-wise it is one of the cheaper ones in this segment. Speed is really fantastic, although I am coming from an 8 year old laptop. The screen... OMG really beautiful!! 4k nature videos are just tripping. Furthermore, the only minor drawback is the battery life, I don't have any problems with it myself but if you really want to be able to work without power for a longer period of time +4 hours then it does get stressful if you are doing some heavy work. I give it a solid 8.5, a lightweight in its class but with this price it fights just as hard.

Very satisfied.
I am very satisfied and happy with it. It is a fast and good laptop. I play Fortnite on it with my son and it goes very smoothly. I gave the battery 3 stars because I always have my laptop connected to the mains. I only have a laptop because it is nicer in my house than a fixed PC. This allows me to sit at the dining table and then tidy up the laptop.
