Is this good for gaming?

It handles esports and older titles at 1080p on low to medium settings thanks to Radeon 680M graphics. Recent AAA games will need low settings and may still stutter.

How long does the battery last?

The rated battery life is about 2 hours, which is short for a 15.6-inch laptop. Plan on keeping the charger nearby for classes or travel.

Should I get 16GB or 32GB of RAM?

16GB is enough for browsing, office work and light gaming. Choose 32GB if you keep many browser tabs, run virtual machines or edit video.

Does it have a backlit keyboard and fingerprint login?

Yes, both are included. The backlight helps in dim rooms, and the fingerprint reader signs you in without typing a password.

What ports does it have?

It offers USB-A, USB-C, HDMI and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. That covers external monitors, mice and headsets without a hub.

How does it compare with Intel-powered laptops?

The Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U trades blows with comparable Intel Core i7 chips and its Radeon 680M graphics beat typical Intel integrated graphics. Intel rivals usually last longer on battery.
