Performance & Feedback
* Designed for high-end gaming and creative applications, the combination of a 14-core i7 and RTX 3080 Ti delivers excellent performance for most modern titles and GPU-intensive tasks
••The fast 240 Hz display paired with G‑SYNC ensures smooth, tear‑free gaming visuals. Storage and memory are upgrade-friendly. Reviews commonly highlight strong performance and high build quality, though note that cooling can get loud under full load. I used it on a lap top cooler and I never heard it while 3D modeling.
