Top specs

Display

Full HD

Full HD screens meet daily needs with good clarity, sufficient for comfortable reading, text editing, and content viewing.
Graphics Card

Integrated graphics cards are sufficient for basic use, while GeForce RTX and Radeon RX/XT offer strong performance for gaming and demanding graphics. For professional applications, such as CAD, 3D, and video editing, NVIDIA Quadro and Ada are recommended.
Processor

Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors offer performance for all needs. The i3 / Ryzen 3 series covers basic use. The i5 / Ryzen 5 are ideal for multitasking and office applications, while the i7 / i9 / Ryzen 7 also serve more demanding applications. The new Intel Core Ultra combines efficiency and AI capabilities. The Apple M1/M3/M4 stand out for their speed, low consumption, and excellent experience on macOS.
CPU Speed

The processor speed in GHz indicates how many instructions it can process per second; the higher the value, the faster the system processes are executed. It significantly affects the speed in daily tasks, applications, and multitasking.
Weight

The weight of a laptop in everyday use significantly affects the ease of transport and user comfort, especially if it is frequently used outside the home or office. A laptop weighing less than 1.5 kg is considered lightweight and ideal for portability (e.g., students, professionals), while devices over 2 kg may be more powerful but less convenient for frequent movement.

I am not a gamer, however I bought this particular laptop (with the Ryzen 5, 16GB RAM and the RTX 3050) for multitasking and tasks such as video and audio editing without it struggling. After 2 months of use, it has not disappointed me in these respects, as it is very fast and the screen is superb with a refresh rate of 144Hz. The battery indeed will not last more than 2 to 3 hours with light to moderate use, which everyone mentions in the comments and I can confirm that this is true. However, personally I do not consider this a negative, because it is something you expect from a gaming laptop, and because you can adjust the battery usage by choosing between Power Saver, Balanced, and Performance modes (the latter for the most demanding tasks, for which I personally always have it plugged in). The keyboard is comfortable and the backlight with two modes is convenient for use at night. Solid build quality that reminds me of more expensive laptops, in my opinion it is beautiful, and its fans are silent and do their job just fine (so far I haven't felt it overheat even when I ran, for testing, heavy games). Most of the laptop's ports are at the back and there is 1 USB, 1 AUX, and 1 type C charging port on the right side, which I find extremely convenient. The processor also performs exactly as one would expect. Surely the version with the Ryzen 7 will perform even better, although from what I see that one also comes without integrated graphics.

And with that, I want to move on to its 2 main negatives. I start with the most important, which I personally did not notice when buying or perhaps did not pay much attention to:

This particular laptop does NOT have integrated graphics (iGPU), which means that any task, from the smallest to the heaviest, relies exclusively on the dedicated Nvidia, which for this reason never "sleeps." Although as I said I do not play games, time will tell how much this is expected to wear out the battery in the future by causing overheating through the constant use of the fans.

The second negative has to do with the laptop's speakers. In short: the sound is below average. It's not average, it's bad. Personally, I connect external speakers and get the job done, but don't expect anything good in this area.

Finally, more as advice, and without knowing if anyone would think about it like I did: this particular laptop, unfortunately, is made for Windows. It doesn't mean you can't install Linux, but when I installed Mint I struggled a lot to get it to an acceptable state and to avoid crashes during startup/shutdown or while performing simple tasks.

Definitely a VFM choice (I got it for €640) as long as you know exactly what you are buying.

This review is about memory capacity: 24 GB, operating system: Windows 11 Home, keyboard language: Greek

I got it as an extra because I have an equally good PC and wanted a laptop for my work. For its price, it's really a value-for-money little laptop with very good specs (rtx 3050 6gb, 144hz, etc.). So far I haven't pushed it with any "demanding" game, but I'll come back when I try it. For work though, in programs like DaVinci Resolve, InDesign, Canva, etc., it's a little beast. It doesn't struggle anywhere, just get a stand to avoid high temperatures. Fast charging with a battery that lasts quite a while for work tasks, I have no complaints. Very nice backlight, the speakers are ok!

I'll come back after 2 months of use for a complete review. From my first impression though, very satisfied, I highly recommend it.

κανει πολυ θορυβο?

Εν ολίγοις: ναι.
Εν πολλοίς: για την κατηγορία του, το πόσο λεπτό είναι, και την τιμή του, όχι απαράδεκτα πολύ/κάποια πράγματα συγχωρούνται... Το πρόβλημα για μένα είναι ότι με τις default ρυθμίσεις του fan-curve και την ψύκτρα που έχει, ανεβάζει σε βαρύ gaming 'οκ θερμοκρασίες' στην καλύτερη - 80-85 o C επεξεργαστή και 70-80 o C κάρτα, όσο κάνει θόρυβο. Άρα δεν έχεις την πολυτέλεια να μειώσεις τα ανεμιστηράκια όσο παίζεις βαριά παιχνίδια, ΕΚΤΟΣ και αν βάλεις κάποιο frame limiter στα παιχνίδια σου, με αποτέλεσμα να μην χρειάζεται να μπουστάρει στο φουλ η κάρτα (ή και ο cpu), και τότε είτε αυτόματα, είτε με custom fan curve, θα μπορείς να το μειώσεις κάπως, ανάλογα την εφαρμογή. Δεν είναι για όποιον τον ενοχλεί ο θόρυβος πολύ. Το να φοράς ακουστικά headset οσο παίζεις είναι μία λύση φυσικά, με τα υπέρ και κατά της. Μια άλλη να βάλεις εξωτερικά δυνατά ηχεία (τα ενσωματωμένα δεν είναι πολύ καλά, κάνουν οκ δουλειά και ακούγονται πάνω από τα ανεμιστηράκια όσο πχ κάνεις browsing).

I got it as an extra because I have an equally good PC and wanted a laptop for my work. For its price, it's really a value-for-money little laptop with very good specs (rtx 3050 6gb, 144hz, etc.). So far I haven't pushed it with any "demanding" game, but I'll come back when I try it. For work though, in programs like DaVinci Resolve, InDesign, Canva, etc., it's a little beast. It doesn't struggle anywhere, just get a stand to avoid high temperatures. Fast charging with a battery that lasts quite a while for work tasks, I have no complaints. Very nice backlight, the speakers are ok!

I'll come back after 2 months of use for a complete review. From my first impression though, very satisfied, I highly recommend it.

Very good choice for a laptop where you can comfortably do any kind of work and it has no problem with games as long as you don't overuse it.
