A:AnswerAfter adding a second 8gb stick of ram, I am playing the new COD and Gears 5 on high settings averaging 60fps. Now some sacrifices did need to be made as the Radeon RX560X is only a 4gb card. My shadow quality is low and a couple of other minor settings here and there. The games are very playable and low shadow quality is hardly noticeable. My friend who plays on a PS4 Pro and X Box one X is a complete graphics nerd is blown away by the performance that I have managed to push out of this little machine.
Some advice from my experience is do not get the model that has a GTX 1050 with 3gb of dedicated graphics memory. You need that extra GB of memory to really make things shine. Get a standard hard drive or 2.5in ssd for bulk storage and set up the OS to store everything on it. The 256 M.2 ssd is really snappy and loads up the OS very fast but will quickly get bogged down after a few downloads.
A:AnswerThe CPU is a Ryzen 3550h. A very decent laptop CPU and processes tasks very fast with no hiccups that I’ve noticed. It even picks up some slack when playing games if the GPU starts to get bogged down.
A:AnswerThe keyboard backlight is controlled either in the Nitro Sense application (N button on the number pad) or in the systems Bios. In Nitro Sense you click on the settings icon in the upper right and then click off the keyboard backlight timeout button. To access the Bios navigate to the recovery screen under the computers settings application. Under the advanced restart options you can choose to restart the laptop and access then iOS settings. Use the left/right arrow keys to navigate to the correct tab, then the up/down keys to navigate to the setting and finally press enter to change the setting. Do not change anything else in the Bios menu. Make sure to exit saving changes (or if you change something on accident exit discarding changes).
