    This m thing is a monster. It has Top notch performance. Im playing the most demanding games on ultra settings and it really isnt challenged by any game I tried so far. I am Glad i got the AMD version . Its just a better CPU for gaming than the I9 13900. I would give it a higher score if I could.

    Great laptop, and is more powerful than my custom built desktop. Its battery life is good after disabling the main GPU and switching to integrated graphics, especially for a gaming laptop. while its large, it is still manageable to carry with me. It also works great for gaming, and the screen quality is awesome for a laptop.

    It could not handle the heat properly from gaming. As a gaming PC, it is disappointing when your game only for 2+ hours, and you will experience noticeable performance issues due to the heat.

    Laptop very good for advanced gaming just ensure you turn off the auto switch for your video card so it doesnt switch from on board graphics to the standalone graphics and give you jitters in framerate in game.
