    Decent product.

    Having purchased this laptop for gaming and studying, I am generally satisfied with the product: large screen, high refresh rate, generous storage capacity (1 TB), efficient cooling system, smooth and fast PC.

    A minor flaw is the lack of a numeric keypad and the tiny arrow keys on an oversized touchpad, added to which is a somewhat confusing layout of the connection ports, but nothing too serious on that front.

    To maximise performance, make sure you use your dedicated graphics card (Nvidia control panel), limit the frame rate (70 FPS), connect the battery and, if possible, find an alternative upscaling technology (FSR in particular) in the game options if your game does not support DLSS. You can also use inexpensive third-party image generation software.

    Thank you for reading this far, and happy gaming, everyone!

    As described.

    The product is as recommended.
    After my daughter briefly described her needs, we were offered this model, which has met our expectations so far.

    Very well

    Very good, delivered in 3 days.
    Quick response from customer service. No complaints.
    The PC makes noise when it's in gaming mode, but that's normal.

    Product matching my request

    I gave this rating because the product perfectly met my needs and allowed me to enjoy gaming again and experience improvements that my old PC didn't have, particularly in terms of Wi-Fi.
    The software update service also saved me time when using the latter.
