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.
