Pros and cons
According to our laptop expert
- You can play demanding games at 60 fps and stream your gameplay in Full HD with the RTX 4070 video card, the i7 processor, and 16GB RAM.
- The 144Hz screen shows fast-moving images smoothly, which is useful for fast shooters.
- Set your favorite colors on the RGB backlit keyboard with 4 adjustable zones, so that you can continue gaming in the dark in style.
- To stream your gameplay in 4K quality, we recommend an Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 processor and 32GB RAM.
- Due to its weight of 2.25kg, this laptop is less easy to take with you in your backpack or laptop bag.

Good laptop, but workmanship could be better.

- good graphics card
- price quality
- very sensitive to grease spots
Good fast laptop, with which you can do almost anything, for an attractive price. A real turn-off is the sensitivity to greasy fingers on the smooth plastic housing, even if you have just washed your hands you cannot get away from it. The finish also looks quite toy-like, such as fake screws here and there. If I had known this earlier, I might even have bought another laptop to avoid the greasy fingers.
