Creative people will be particularly delighted to obtain much faster processing thanks to this core than with 8/16 GB DDR4/5 as well as a classic Quad/Hexa Core. We clearly feel the difference under RAM and CPU-intensive work taking advantage of multi-cores, such as 3D rendering, video editing or photo editing.

Creators will appreciate this multimedia gaming laptop even more as processing is accelerated under software using GPU computing power (e.g. Adobe suite, Vegas, VSDC) by the dedicated GeForce RTX 4070 on-board graphics card.
