Student, gamer, and writer.
I was hesitant at first to buy a laptop since my last purchase two years ago of a 3080 RTX gaming laptop, but I needed something for school and I was using another laptop I’d gotten back in 2019 for schoolwork since 2021. I was running into the constant issue of having to frequently keep it connected so that the battery didn’t run out during class. This piece of hardware has taken on that role now and I really hadn’t thought about doing any serious gaming on it besides playing some small indie pixel games.So it was surprising when I was able to run games like Warhammer 3 Total War, SoulCalibur VI, Ace Combat VII, and others very well without any issues. The smaller screen most definitely helps with that since they don’t have be set on high resolutions to still look good.The max screen resolution is as stated, 2560×1600. I was able to run Soul Calibur at this setting and received smooth gameplay even when I had the unit disconnected from its battery charger. I noticed no dips in the gameplay whatsoever.I’d recommend playing with game settings and seeing what works best for you.There are other games I haven’t tried since I honestly am just using it more for work than for gaming. If I wanted to do serious gaming I’d go back to use my 3080 gaming system instead.I love how easy it is to setup this device wherever and whenever and that I can count on the battery to last hours as I do schoolwork, browse the web, or do other non demanding activities on the device.When I’m doing these things I cannot even hear the computer fan at all, the thing is dead silent. Having said that, when you do start gaming, you will hear the fan start to kick in.I also love that I don’t have to worry about the keyboard heating up when I’m playing as all of the hardware is tucked behind the screen monitor.One last note that I really like is how the microSD slot. I have two 1TB micro SDs. One is filled with movies, tv shows, and other various media. The other acts as a secondary steam library that I usually keep in. The idea is that when I go on trips where I don’t have internet access or on a plain trip, I have a SD card packed with movies and tv shows I can easily watch wherever and whenever.I tested to see how well it streams via bluetooth connection to smart TVs and used a 55″ Samsung 4k to test it out. At default it set to 1920×1080 as recommended, the video played well. What I did notice was the how slow the mouse moved across the screen. It seemed to be choppy as it dragged around.When I upped the resolution to match that the max settings of the main device, 2560×1600 I started to notice the video quality dip as it began to lag.I don’t usually do reviews, but I really am enjoying this device and as a college student I know I’ll be getting my use out of this thing.Price wise, I paid about 1800 total. I came back to see that there were no more units for this price and that the other seller on Amazon was charging nearly 3000 (27 April 2023). I don’t know how much the price will change since writing this, but I thought that is an important bit of imformation, because if I’d seen it as it costs now at 3000 I would not have even considered buying this device.

Incredible all in one package
Love this computer. It has great performance, cooling, it is compact. I replaced my PS4, my tablet, and my gaming desktop with this single device. Everyone complains about the battery, I think its fine. If you need 6+ hours of battery just bring a charger or i guess find another device, but if you can plug in somewhere occasionally you are good. (if you are hoping to game while on battery, you have about 1 hour, i don’t see that as realistic)

Geil, halt nur im Akkubetrieb echt wenig akku

Me encanta esta tablet, funciona genial, tiene buenas especificaciones técnicas para ser tan pequeña, me sirve incluso para trabajar, el único problema que le encuentro es que la batería no le dura mas de 6 horas, dependiendo el uso, 4 horas si la uso junto con mi monitor secundario, estaría genial que tuviera un modo con mayor ahorro de energía en batería. En cuanto a potencia, conectada a la luz y en modo turbo puede correr cualquier juego con opciones altas y fps super estables con su rtx 4050. Para juegos exigentes la uso con mi XGM 3080 y puede correr cyberpunk al máximo con raytracing.
