> 3 dayLaptop is powerful and is used for progamming and gaming on emulators. It can run rpcs3 for ps3, ppsspp for psp, pcsx2 for ps2 easily even on 15W TDP. I will test other emulators. Laptop is lightweight and is easy to carry around. It has a great battery life. Default power is 15W TDP but can be increased to 25W. The Laptop is great value for money.

Greater than one weekIt has a comfortable keyboard, respectable I/O (USB 2 on the right side is questionable but I just use it for a mouse anyways), fantastic chipset, and is pretty easy to DIY upgrade, I upgraded mine from 8 to 20gb of RAM. Runs Linux Mint like a charm although the fingerprint reader doesn’t work with either Mint or Fedora out of the box. It’s great for the price and an excellent choice for a back to school laptop for college, especially if you get it on sale, the AMD APU is a total workhorse for most office tasks and light gaming/media editing.

> 3 dayThere’s nothing not to love about this laptop. Setup was super easy, and it has so many ease-of-use features, I’m still gobsmacked. I’ve only had it a couple of days, and here’s what I love already:

> 3 daythis is a killer little machine, but if your like me and dont know anything about gaming pcs, let me tell you a little bit about my experience, i saw people reviewing this saying I am playing fortnite on ultra settings and getting 120fps and I thought oh man what a killer deal. so what i learned is hitting this benchmarks does not mean squat, as fortnite is a very low demanding graphical game. this lappy has a powerful cpu, but does NOT have a dedicated gpu, so playing anything AAA (even if it came out years ago) will run horribly! i had to crank monster hunter world down to like 700 x 600p or something and was still getting like 30 - 40 fps! if you are an amatuer video editor and only plan on playing indie games on here at 60fps then this will be ok (high graphical indie games will still encounter horrible frame dips), i played salt and sacrafice at a steady 60 fps and any pixel art or low demanding graphical game will be ok, however even an indie game like roboquest i had to turn graphics down to medium and was getting about 40 fps

> 3 dayThis review is written having owned and used this laptop a month-and-a-half. Full Disclosure: I didnt even boot Windows 11, I wiped it immediately and installed Ubuntu (22.04), my OS of choice for a decade

Greater than one weekGreat formfactor, keyboard, screen, trackpad, ports, and performance. Windows 11 was worrying at first but works well and is a worthy refresh.
