- Is the 240Hz screen worth it over a 165Hz laptop?
- Yes if you play fast shooters or esports titles, where the extra frames are visible. For slower single-player games the difference is smaller.
- Can it run modern games at high settings?
- The NVIDIA GPU and 16GB of RAM handle current titles at high settings on the 2560 x 1600 screen. Expect to lower settings on the most demanding new releases.
- Is 16GB of RAM enough?
- It is enough for gaming and everyday use. If you keep many browser tabs and apps open while playing, plan on upgrading later.
- How heavy is it to carry?
- About 6 lb, which is heavy for a backpack every day. It works best as a desk machine that moves occasionally.
- What ports does it have?
- USB-C and HDMI, plus the usual USB-A ports, so you can connect a monitor, headset and peripherals without a hub.
- Does the matte screen help outdoors?
- The no-glare finish reduces reflections, but the screen is still dimmer than a phone outdoors. It is best used indoors or in shade.
