I had to update the GEforse graphics card via GEforse website but that was quick and fast and only takes 5 minutes tops if you do it right, if you do it wrong you could find that your have major problems.
The Nitro sence key is extremely useful for controlling a few things manly the fans if your useing the laptop all day. And it also controls the settings for the backlit keyboard.
Gaming it has not been a problem but to play Battlefield 2042 I had to update GEforse graphics card (This was free via there website) and now I can play the game on ultra graphics. 9 out of 10 games will play fine with out up dating the Graphics card.
All in a expensive laptop but it is the best one I had, yes you can get cheaper but you want the job done properly then you have to pay the higher price. 16gb of ram and 1tb of storage and Ryson 7 and GEforse GTX graphics card is a good combination to make a nice laptop. There is better but your have to pay 500 more on top.
A good fast laptop let down by an old USB-c port.
If you’re looking for a very powerful, compact, all-in-one computer you can put away when not in use, then it’ll be perfect for you, but its really loud fans and comical battery life won’t make it a very good portable workstation. I’m very satisfied with it because I wanted the former, would recommend getting a cooling stand for it if you plan on doing performance intensive stuff on it, though (3d rendering, modern games, etc), because as loud as the fans are, nothing small enough to fit into the case will be amazing at cooling hardware as powerful as what this laptop has.
The battery life is not great, but if your playing any game worth it’s salt then I wouldn’t say you should be playing off charge (almost always going to drop FPS). Friend was telling me to spend a lot more money on a gaming laptop, but so far this has not failed to run anything suggested smoothly (elden ring, Forza 5, highly modded Skyrim) definitely happy with my purchase
Out of necessity I upped the license to Windows Pro.
Once loaded with the software I use on a daily basis it was apparent that it needed more RAM.
Increased the RAM to 32GB and added a 1TB SSD for additional storage, which was a very easy upgrade.
Battery life was two hours at best, and there is no battery upgrade currently available.
I often work on sites with little or no power out in the field, so for me this is a problem.
I started to run a custom power setup, and battery life is improving, but its a slow process to optimise battery life over performance loss.
The large screen is crisp and clear.
When running on mains the illuminated keyboard is very useful for working in poor light.
It’s not the lightest laptop, so holding it in one hand (something I do daily whilst setting up field devices) for anything longer than ten minutes can be a bit of a strain.
Overall it’s proven to be a good purchase, and comparable to all other laptops I’ve used.
Excellent gaming machine when plugged in and you can easily crank the settings up to high/max with at least 100fps dependant on the game, but the power brick runs really, really hot after an hour.
But I would say it is still a good laptop, it meets my requirements for an external screen and the occasionally gaming without any problems.With a decent quality and fine cooling it is a plus for this price, but not comparable to the other competitors!
