Minor gaming
I bought it just to play RuneScape and it’s great for that. Runs smooth and I can run the graphics pretty high. Very satisfied with the purchase

Good value, sleek, and capable laptop.
I appreciate the sleek-professional look and size of this laptop. The aluminum chassis and deck, along with the smooth edges give it a premium feel, and the subtle logo seems to disappear at certain angles. The lid needs two hands to open but stays firmly without wobble. The construction is solid, and the laptop remains quite portable at 3.3 lbs. The typing experience is enjoyable. They keys have decent travel and spacing. However, it is inconvenient that there is no keyboard backlight. The trackpad is very accurate and responsive. While the color accuracy is subpar and the brightness is quite low (300 nits), I still found the thin bezel 1920x1200, 60Hz screen decent. The anti-glare coating and wide viewing angles help, especially in the daytime. This laptop is superfast online if you have Wi-Fi 7/6E, or at least it will be future proof. Online calls and video meetings are smooth. The 1080p 2MP camera is quite capable. There are many available options such as Windows Studio, backgrounds, eye-tracking, live captions, and AI-related features that are helpful (some gimmicky). The mics pick up voices very well and the AI knocks out a lot of ambient noise. The speakers are mediocre but serviceable as expected from almost any laptop. The camera also has robust privacy features such as a physical cover slider, as well as “away” and “onlooker” detection. I am very happy with the performance of this laptop so far. The Snapdragon X-126100 CPU is quite efficient and capable. I did some rendering tests, and I was fairly impressed. Combined with the Adreno GPU, I was able to play some games as well at decent graphics. I checked the AI features a bit to test the NPU, but I wasn’t able to fully utilize it. Hopefully this will get better usage in the future. Now, the laptop runs on Windows 11 ARM, and while there are plenty of apps and games that are compatible, there are quite a few of them that are not, so I highly recommend checking for compatibility, especially if you use a specific program or game. The efficiency of the Snapdragon ecosystem allows for exceptional battery life. I was able to use the laptop for two full workdays –that is about 18 hours of normal productivity work and some video streaming. The laptop charges via USB-C quickly. There are plenty of ports available, including two USB-C (Thunderbolt 4?), a legacy USB-A 3.2, a headphone/mic jack, and even a micro-SD card slot. Sadly, no HDMI so an adapter may be needed. I was able to connect two monitors at the same time with no issues. In the end, I think this laptop is great for those who need a cost-effective, professional, sleek, long-lasting, capable laptop for typical productivity and content consumption.
