Much needed upgrade as an aerospace student
This laptop has been a huge upgrade for my aerospace engineering work. It handles MATLAB, ANSYS, and CAD software effortlessly while staying cool and responsive. The display is sharp, colors are vibrant, and the overall build feels premium. Battery life is solid for classes and study sessions, and the performance boost is noticeable compared to my older system. Definitely recommend it for any engineering or STEM student who needs reliable power on the go.

It's good and enough for me
I've been playing many indie games such as, silksong and expedition 33 and work so good, the quiet mode works very well for those kind of game. I've not had any problem yet.
