Pros and cons

According to our laptop expert

You can play demanding games at 60 fps and stream your gameplay in Full HD or QHD with the RTX 4070 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.
We recommend at least an RTX 4080 video card if you want to add demanding graphics packs and mods.
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.

Review is 8,8 out of 10.

Lightweight that can pack a punch

Very nice screen, 4k is beautiful
Illuminated keyboard can be fully customized to your wishes.
Very robust.
Battery life, this is not bad but for real workers without a power outlet it is a bit of an issue

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.
