When the keys are difficult to discern, the chiclet keyboard's backlighting system can be activated.

The screen will delight gamers and creators thanks to its 165Hz frequency which clearly improves overall fluidity, including in games, compared to the 60Hz standard.

It delivers solid overall performance that will satisfy a maximum number of users. And in particular creators since it deploys its potential in areas that are greedy for RAM and CPU resources using multicores and AI, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing.

Because it is built around a large amount of RAM of 32 GB, twice the average, as well as a processor Meteor Lake Core Ultra 7 155H with 16 hybrid cores, AI performance and integrated Intel Arc graphics.

Under multimedia work, this duo provides faster processing than if we were dealing with 16 GB DDR4/5 as well as a classic Quad/Hexa Core processor.

In addition, processing is accelerated by SSD storage which provides fast startups/shutdowns, game/software launches, processing and arrival on the cards of online games.

Thanks to the high-end NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing, you can also indulge in recent games… with some concessions such as a reduction in screen definition. Because in 3K, a greater number of calculations are necessary than in Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.

The laptop does not always work on the GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing. Because it is activated by NVIDIA Optimus technology automatically in real time, depending on the tasks performed. And this when Optimus considers that the performance of the Intel Arc is insufficient to perform the requested tasks.

Whether with the Intel Arc or the GeForce RTX 4060, you can obviously view HD photos and videos.
The Intel Arc, which has superior performance to the classic Iris Xe and yet is significantly weaker than that of the dedicated GPU, is nevertheless favored as much as possible by Optimus. Because it is low energy, which favors autonomy.

This represents an advantage of this configuration since it is established at around 8 hours on battery in light use.
Plus, as it is compact, thin and light, this Ultrabook for gaming and creating is easy to carry.
