Pros and cons

According to our laptop expert

You can smoothly play demanding games in Full HD with the RTX 5070 video card, the Intel Core 7 processor, and 16GB RAM.
The 240Hz WQXGA screen shows sharp images and fast movements smoothly, so you can game at a high level.
The anti-ghosting keyboard responds to multiple keystrokes at the same time, so it never misses a command.
If you want to play demanding games in 4K, we recommend at least an RTX 5080 video card.
Due to the 2.4kg weight, this laptop is less easy to take with you in your backpack or laptop bag.
