What is it?
A slender and powerful gaming laptop.
Good points?
The machine’s brain is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS (3.8Ghz) processor and backed by 16GB of RAM which delivers seamless multitasking and bit crunching capabilities.
It also packs a huge graphical punch thanks to the inclusion of an Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU. This graphics card ensures smooth gameplay and stunning visuals, whether you're exploring vast open worlds or engaging in intense multiplayer battles.
The 14.5 inch (37cm) OLED HD display enhances the user experience by providing vibrant colours and textures that leap out.
Storage is ample with a generous 1TB capacity, providing plenty of space for storing games, multimedia files, and other data. The inclusion of a 1080p front camera is a thoughtful addition, enabling crisp video calls and streaming sessions with friends and followers.
Despite its powerful internals it maintains a slim and lightweight profile, measuring just 328 x 251 x 20 mm and weighing only 1.7 kg. This makes it highly portable, allowing gamers to take their adventures on the go without being weighed down.
Battery life is respectable, with a 73.6Wh capacity providing up to 6.5 hours of usage on a single charge.
Bad points?
The only compromise on quality comes from the audio emitted which sounds stretched due to underpowered speakers.
Best for ...
Those who need the ability to continue gaming while away from their main computer such as streamers who make a living from gaming and editing their content.
Avoid if ...
You are looking for a dedicated gaming machine as portable devices can be lacking in important areas such as sound quality.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
