QuestionSome of these answers are wrong. If you Google the model number it specifically states it comes with a 360hz FHD display, not a 120hz like someone answered on here. Also, I would be extremely surprised if this model did not have per key rgb.
Asked 4 years ago by Slick.
- Answer It is 360 and yes it does have the per key RBG. (I love playing with that). I just purchased mine a week ago so maybe some have the older R3 system and don’t realize this is the newer model.

QuestionCan this laptop play Far Cry 6 on max settings?
Asked 4 years ago by A3onUser.
- Answer Short answer is yes. Maybe not 60 fps with ray tracing on but I don't see a reason why this beast of a laptop couldn't run Far Cry 6 with 60 plus fps at 1080p.

QuestionHow many TB can it go up to?
Asked 4 years ago by SOLO62.
- Answer It has three slots for SSDs, two are capable of taking just about any m.2 SSD, the third is a shorter slot that seems to max out at 128GB SSDs. So if you're willing to splash out on two 8TB SSDs and a 128GB you can hit a hair over 16TB. Of course it's a lot more economical to stick to 2TB drives.

QuestionI want to know if I can use this laptop to do 3dmax modeling and rendering. Thank you
Asked 4 years ago by Massi.
- Answer I’ve never used this laptop for 3D work BUT this laptop has one of the highest if not the highest wattages utilized by the GPU (RTX 3070) in a gaming laptop in 2021. That being said 3D programs and rendering utilize the GPU heavily and this would be a good choice based on that. Screen quality would be questionable if you need highly accurate colors etc as this is only a 1080P 360HZ panel.
